Whatsapp keeps closing within sec I open it

[Vini Shah]

Whenever I try to open the app, it closes within seconds with a prompt saying WhatsApp keeps stopping. I have been facing this issue for the past two days. I am facing this problem on  my S24 ultra..I have tried all the tricks available, but I still have not had any luck.

Things I did
Uninstalled the app
Restarted the phone
Cleared cache
Both the app & my phone are up to date
Have plenty of storage space

Hi! Welcome to the Samsung Members community!

I believe this is a new issue with WhatsApp. I've seen a lot of this on the forums, with no real solution. I would contact WhatsApp support. Downloading WhatsApp Business has the same functionality, but with more features you can simply ignore.

Thank you very much for your prompt response.

Can I get the backup from WhatsApp to it's Business version?

[johnz237]

During the setup process of WhatsApp Business, you'll be given the option to restore a backup from your regular WhatsApp account.

Hi @Vini Shah and warm welcome to the community 👋

It appears to be whatsapp issue they said will release fix soon with an update.

For now you can use whatsapp businesses or delete whatsapp and download whatsapp APK from their official website.
