Ferret Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Same thing happened to me and it's annoying. I had to google for the answer for my particular ancient cell phone (Samsung S4). Generally, you have to go into the whatsapp app on your phone and choose "link devices" and scan the code on the phone to get the laptop app working again. Unfortunately, as soon as you shut off your laptop, it happens again and you have to do the same thing every time. Ridiculous but it's a work around. I prefer to make whatsapp calls to Canada using the laptop so I don't have the cell phone stuck to my ear when chatting with family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oasiscloud Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Yesterday my WhatsApp on my MacBook would just open with a blank screen. Finally I deleted the app, downloaded a new one, and installed it. I had to "link devices" again, but it is working now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 This is the link that I used to find help... https://www.makeuseof.com/whatsapp-desktop-not-working-tips-to-fix-it/ Currently, I am getting into whatsapp on the computer by going to "whatsapp web" which I clicked on after googling it. That brings it up again but I can only send messages and I cannot make calls. I have lost count of the number of times that I have deleted whatsapp and started over again. Seriously glitchy right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Ken, for messaging and calls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Eureka! I accidentally downloaded a Beta version which does not permit calls. Went to the Microsoft store and downloaded the correct one and now I'm back in business. Then I uninstalled (got that down pat) the Beta version. Took me three frickin' hours to figure this all out.
