Users attempting to silence groups or individual messages for a week may get an error notice while using WhatsApp's most recent update for iOS devices, version 2.22.18.76. The silence length is automatically changed by the WhatsApp bug from "1 week" to "8 hours." However, there is no problem if a user selects "8 hours" or "Always" as the duration. Users of WhatsApp for iOS who have updated the app to the most recent version are the only ones who can access this. The mute duration restrictions are effective for users who are still using earlier versions.
Users of WhatsApp for iOS who have updated the most recent update with version number 2.22.18.76 are experiencing a glitch. When trying to silence a group or individual message for a week, WhatsApp appears to be adjusting the time frame to "8 hours." On our iOS test devices, the bug appears to be present.
According to information on WhatsApp Version History, the most recent version was released on August 31 and includes many upgrades, some of which "will roll out over in the following weeks." On iOS devices, the WhatsApp glitch is only visible to users who have updated to the most recent version of the app. For those who are still using older versions of the programme, the mute duration limits function as intended.
In a similar development, iPhone models running iOS 10 or iOS 11 will shortly stop supporting WhatsApp. The adjustments will reportedly begin to be in effect starting from October 24. Users of older iPhone models will need to update their devices to iOS 12 or subsequent versions in order to prevent this and continue using WhatsApp.
Users of the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c must update to a newer iPhone model starting on October 24 in order to continue using WhatsApp. Users will be forced to purchase a new phone that works with WhatsApp in order to keep using the messaging service.
