Several Android users have been logged out of their WhatsApp accounts for no apparent reason. For those wondering if they’ve been hacked, rest assured, this is just a bug.

The messaging app WhatsApp is still among the most downloaded apps and continues to gain users despite sharing data with Facebook. One of the most anticipated features of the app was recently confirmed by Mark Zuckeberg and Will Cathcart: WhatsApp will soon work on four other devices at once. While waiting for multi-device support, and unlike other messaging services, WhatsApp currently only allows you to register one phone number per account. This basically means that when you log into your WhatsApp account on another phone using that number, you are logged out of the app on your existing device.
However, some users of WhatsApp on Android are faced with an annoying situation, since they are disconnected from the messaging app for no reason. They indeed receive the message “Your phone number is no longer registered with WhatsApp on that phone. It could be because you saved it on another phone. If you haven’t, verify your phone number to reconnect to your account“.
According to WaBetaInfo, a portal that tracks updates and developments related to WhatsApp, this issue is believed to be due to a bug in the instant messaging app and there is no cause for concern.
If you have been logged out of WhatsApp, you are not the only one
“If you’ve been recently signed out of WhatsApp, on WhatsApp for Android, don’t worry – it’s a bug. You can reconnect to WhatsApp “, Can we read in the tweet of WaBetaInfo. He specifies thatthere is no need to change password or take other security measures.
It is important to note that WABetaInfo specifically states that this bug affects WhatsApp for Android, not iOS. If you have ever been unexpectedly logged out of WhatsApp on your iPhone, we strongly recommend that you change your password to a minimum. In addition, there is currently no official word on the subject from WhatsApp, owned by Facebook. The company has neither acknowledged nor denied the problem.
