WhatsApp Green Screen Bug Android: It's important not to mistake this issue for the green line problem often seen on OLED screens, where a single row of pixels permanently displays green due to hardware damage. 

With an update, the instant messaging app has now fixed the glitch. WhatsApp is also introducing comprehensive reply information for automatic albums.

There may be several reasons why WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS keep crashing on your device. WhatsApp has issued two new beta upgrades for Android and iOS this week. If you use WhatsApp via the App Store, make a backup of your chat history before installing the new update so that you may reinstall WhatsApp and restore your chat history if something goes wrong.

A security firm has revealed a WhatsApp image filter bug that has harmed users. This bug allowed hackers to access personal information. The security flaw was revealed to Whatsapp on November 10, 2020, as per the security firm.

Vulnerability was rooted in WhatsApp's image filter function. CPR learned that switching between various filters on crafted GIF files caused WhatsApp to crash. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability would have required an attacker to apply specific image filters to a specially crafted image and send the resulting image.

The Facebook-owned messaging platform has not yet revealed the details of the issue and also didn’t give any kind of numbers. If your WhatsApp account has also been affected by this bug, just log in again with your registered phone number. It is important to note that this is not the first time that an unknown bug has affected the WhatsApp Android users.

Urging all users to update WhatsApp to the latest version, security researchers at global cybersecurity firm Check Point identified the flaw that would allow a bad actor to create a malicious group message to crash Facebook-owned WhatsApp on users` devices.

Facebook has suffered a string of security-related problems in the last year.

The bug is said to have been discovered on both Android and iOS versions of the app.

Such messages or "message bombs" are not new and not limited to Android. Even iMessage is not immune to bugs that could send the app crashing.
