A number of iPhone users have been unable to run the popular messaging based app, WhatsApp. At the moment, Apple iPhone 13 series and even older models are facing a crashing bug on the social media based platform across the globe.

As per numerous tweets on Twitter, many iPhone users have stated that their WhatsApp simply stopped working. Reportedly, the app kept crashing whenever they tried to launch it. This made it impossible for Apple users to access their chats or send any messages. Recently, there have been no new WhatsApp update on the App Store, with even the beta test build facing this crashing issue for some unknown reason. In other words, it could be an issue on Facebook’s servers rather than the app or may possibly be a bug related to the operating system, but that is highly unlikely.

According to the people that took to Twitter to voice their issues, the bug is affecting both the regular and WhatsApp Business app as well. To make matters more complicated, this issue affects models running the latest iOS 15.2 and others that are running older iOS builds as well. Unfortunately, WhatsApp has yet to respond to these issues as of right now. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when more information is available regarding this matter.

Earlier today (11th November 2021), PUBG: New State had finally launched after being teased months prior. However, while the launch was highly anticipated, it might have been a bit rushed by Krafton as the game seems unplayable at the moment.

A number of mobile gamers keen on getting in early on the fast paced and modern setting of the title were disappointed to find that they are unable to play the game. While the issue isn’t universal, various users have complained about the new game. During launch, many games see day one patch updates that fix server issues or other problems and it seems that the New State isn’t any different. Being unable to connect to the server is one of the most common issue as of right now.

Notably, the issue was even acknowledged by the game’s official Twitter account that assured that it is “looking into resolving this issue swiftly.” We can expect the server issue to be fixed by the end of the day but there are also other problems that seems more complicated. As per the official “Known Issues” list shared on PUBG New State’s official website, some Xiaomi smartphones are unable to run the game entirely.

In other words, some Xiaomi users cannot boot the game and are even shown an error that redirects them to a webpage. This site answers some FAQs related to the game crashing. It even adds that “You have been disconnected from the game due to abnormal behavior.” The issues don’t end there as those that managed to get into the game are facing unresponsive controls, random server lags, unresponsive UI, and much more. Keep in mind, its still day 1, and we can expect fixes to be one their way.

Alright.#PUBGNEWSTATE has bricked my device already.
Those on Android 12, be a bit careful I'd say.

Update: We advise that you stay clear of the game for now since reports have surfaced of the game bricking smartphones. Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) has just tweeted that the game bricked his Android 12 device, while other gamers also took to Twitter to share a similar incident. 91Mobiles downloaded the game on a couple of smartphones as well, with varying degrees of damage. One handset was soft bricked with possibility for recovery while another has been hard bricked.
