From time to time, some popular apps tend to have some kind of problem. Even though companies make updates available, some situations sometimes end up happening.
Recently, it was the turn of a WhatsApp bug to cause an inconvenient situation for the application’s users.
Problems with the sending system on WhatsApp
As soon as users noticed the problem, they quickly shared it on their social networks. The app bug was present on both Android and iOS smartphones.
Here, it is worth remembering that WhatsApp has the function of blocking people from whom you do not want to receive any type of message.
However, with the change in the system, WhatsApp presented an inconvenient problem in which all blocked contacts were able to send messages again.
In light of this, the company has taken a stance on the incident and stated that it was already aware of the situation and was taking action to make adjustments to the system. However, a way to prevent messages from reaching you has not yet been officially shared, but some users have suggested unblocking the contact and then blocking them again.
To carry out both procedures, you need to open the application on both your cell phone and computer and search for the specific person.
Then, you must access the conversation with the contact you want to unblock or block and click on their name. This will bring up the option “Block contact” or “Unblock contact”.
According to some experts, the error occurs in servers of WhatsApp, that is, in the center responsible for processing data directed to users.
So far, WhatsApp has confirmed exactly how long it will take for this entire issue to be fixed, and has also stated that the number of people affected is still unknown.
Ultimately, everyone hopes that this change won’t last long, after all, blocked contacts are on this list for one reason: not to maintain any type of contact. In addition, there is concern about the “bug” and whether it will affect other functions.
In short, this is the most popular chat app in Brazil and, last year, it celebrated the milestone of 120 million active users in the country.
