Whatsapp callers suddenly hear echo on their end only

Anonymous

After working fine for a couple of years, now whatsapp desktop is a problem - but not for me, for the person on the other end, who hears a full echo of everything they say.

I don't hear any echo. And, when I try the same call on my mobile instead of desktop, no problem.

This is recent, only the past 10 days or so.

Sometimes the solution is simple. For those who still face the problem, I wish that another solution is soon found!

Hi Adi,

I got an older version from uptodown https://whatsapp-desktop.en.uptodown.com/windows/versions#google\_vignette

You might need to go for one of the versions from late December, Whatsapp is auto updating any version that is too old. Try disabling updates in the Microsoft Store to stop WhatsApp from auto updating to the version with the echo issue.

Hope this helps,

Jay

Hi Peter,

Try downloading one of the later ones released in December. Either 2.2450.6.0 or 2.2449.2.0 Though I'm not sure how long they will be viable for, it looks like any version older than 60 days is automatically updated. I've disabled auto updates on the Microsoft store so I hope that will bypass this.

Hope this helps,

Jay
