The WhatsApp beta channel has recently released version 2.24.24.5. This update introduces a "Draft" label in the chat list for messages that are left unsent. Additionally, it aims to enhance performance and address some bugs that were previously present. Nevertheless, as users testing the beta version report, a new bug has appeared that causes the screen to turn green when opening a chat.
Green Screen Issue Explained
Luckily, this is not the same green screen problem that would necessitate display replacement or repair. Instead, it simply shows a solid green color while entering a chat and disappears once you exit WhatsApp. However, this isn't the only concern affecting the new beta version.
Startup Crashes Reported
Users are also mentioning that the beta app crashes when starting up, rendering WhatsApp unusable. Naturally, this sort of thing isn't surprising because beta versions of applications typically lack the stability of their public release versions.
For those testers encountering these problems, the best course of action is to revert back to the stable build, which seems to be free from the green screen and startup crash issues. It's important to understand that WhatsApp beta versions are released as app bundles rather than regular APKs, and due to certain restrictions in Android, rolling back to an older version isn't straightforward.
Recommended Solution
Thus, the ideal solution is to uninstall the beta version and install the current stable version of WhatsApp (2.24.22.79). You can find the installer on APKMirror, a trusted source for Android applications. Given that many users are reporting these problems, it is likely that the developers will soon provide a fix.
