Hi,

I am having Lumia 640 Dual with Windows 8.1.

I could not install WhatsApp latest version or even beta version from store.

It always stucks at “setting up whatsapp please wait” after phone verification

Really frustrating.

So far I tried

  1. WhatsApp Beta version
  2. Writing. to WhatsApp support
  3. Several times Soft, Hard resets
  4. Upgraded to Windows 10
  5. Windows recovery tool
  6. With or without restoring whatsapp messages

Any help is really appreciated.
