GB WhatsApp update not working can be fixed by performing some simple troubleshooting steps. Then download the update file from a trusted source. Approximately 30 percent of update problems are linked to faulty websites, corrupted files or malware. Another tip is to verify that the APK file size matches with the official update size — in most cases, it should be nearly 50MB. If there’s a huge difference, avoid that file as it may have been tampered with.
If the installation fails, please enable “unknown sources” in your device settings’ Security. This setting is necessary for third-party apps such as GB WhatsApp, which cannot be installed via the Google Play Store. Enabling that setting fixes the installation for more than 25% of users who have blocked updates, but we don’t know how many in total, according to the data.
If users are facing app crashes with the new update, clearing the app cache will usually help improve performance issues. Go to device settings — > Storage and select this option in order to delete the cache data that is no longer useful, because the documents of outdated cached files can slow down the performance by 20% as well. Another approach is to create a backup and then delete the application; installing it again is useful, mainly if this update method was not done successfully from the first moment. Recovery statistics say that restoring application capabilities to 40% of users solves this problem with reinstalling it (best practices).
In order to restore the back up after each update, make sure the backup file is placed properly in the “GBWhatsApp” folder of your device. Backups saved out of order cause the app to be unable to find historical chats. For most users, the solution to that issue is simply moving that file to the right folder so no chat data disappears during an update.
After the update, if notifications stop appearing, check that “Allow Notifications” is active under the device’s app settings for GB WhatsApp. Occasionally an update will reset notification preferences, so can restore this setting to ensure messages come through in real time. Interestingly, it has been noticed that this step allows for up to 15% increased app functioning (in the case of people who use older device models). — Relaxed a strict nature about permissions
