WhatsApp is not working for many users in India. The chat app has become "obsolete" for many users as of midnight on 13 January. A few users reported facing the issue around the first week of January, but the problem seem to have spread to more users from 13 January. Many of the affected users have taken to Twitter to express their frustration.
According to a Tweet by a user facing the problem, WhatsApp is asking them to update the app to continue using the service. The option to update the app comes after opening the app. Screenshots posted by users reveal a message that says 'This version of WhatsApp became obsolete 0n 13 Jan, 2018. Please go to the Google Play Store and download the latest version.' But, according to users, even after going to the Google Play Store, they are not able to download the latest version of the app, as there are no updates available. The app also claims that the user is on a beta testing program and offers the user an option to leave the program. Tapping the opt-out button doesn't do anything, according to various users on Twitter.
The problem seems to exist mostly for Xiaomi smartphone users as those who are complaining appear to be using Xiaomi devices. Some claim that the app is not working even after re-installing it.
Below we give you step to step way to restart WhatsApp if it's become obsolete
