The WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.17.24 update adds a feature for status updates, giving some lucky beta testers the option to respond to others' status updates by selecting one of the 8 available emojis, as we detailed last week. Sadly, that upgrade also caused a problem with audio calls; in fact, some users were having a visual problem with audio conversations:
This screenshot shows what the interface looked like when users attempted to make an audio call on WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.17.23 and 2.22.17.24. Some information, such the caller's name and call duration, were also unavailable.
