Whatsapp aborts when started

fairphone 6

e /os/ version: 4.3-a16-20260917677552-official-FP6

app lounge version: 2.19.5

whatsapp version: 2.26.39.79

I ve updated whatsapp through app lounge a few days ago. now whatsapp is starting, showing a screen for half a secound about something like google play store issues and then aborts.

i cannot use whatsapp anymore.

anyone seeing something similar?

… i haven’t found out the root cause (maybe the developer mode that was enabled), but i managed to solve the issue.

i simply installed the latest whatsapp .apk over my (broken) installation (after i manually backed up all whatsapp data for a potential later rollback). and indeed the new installation fixed it.

sorry for the noise…
