From time to time, some famous apps tend to have some kind of problem. As much as companies make updates available, some situations now and then end up happening.
Recently, it was the turn of a WhatsApp bug to cause an inconvenient situation for the application’s users.
Problems in the shipping system or WhatsApp
As soon as users noticed the problem, they soon shared it on their social networks. The application bug was present in both Android and iOS smartphones.
Here, it is worth remembering that WhatsApp has the function of blocking people from whom you want not to receive any type of message.
However, with the change in the system, WhatsApp had an inconvenient problem in which all blocked contacts could send messages again.
In view of this, the company took a position on what happened and stated that it was already aware of and taking action to make adjustments to the system. However, a way to stop the messages from reaching you has not yet been officially shared, but some users have suggested unblocking the contact and blocking them again.
To perform 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 his name. Thus, the option “Block contact” or “Unblock contact” will appear.
According to some specialists, the error happens in the servers of WhatsApp, that is, at the center responsible for processing data directed to users.
So far, WhatsApp has confirmed exactly the period for this entire problem to be fixed, as well as stating that the number of people affected is still unknown.
In the end, everyone hopes that this change won’t last long, after all, blocked contacts are on this list for one reason only: not to keep any kind 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 application in Brazil and, last year, it reached the milestone of 120 million active users in the country.
