Whatsapp callers suddenly hear echo on their end only

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.

    How did you run version 2.2450.6.0?
    I downloaded full install package "whatsapp-desktop-2-2450-6-0.msixbundle"

    Installed it and after launch it shows this error:https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/b1f6d1ff-d263-411c-a6c7-9e565f06c78a?platform=QnA

    Update is leading to latest version with echo.

    Hello Jay, yes, I can confirm that I have installed version 2.2450.6.0, and fully tested it now, this version suppresses the echo correctly. Just a matter of making sure it does not auto update now. I have also notified WhatsApp of the issue via their contact link. For info to others I tried the Beta version, but that also has the echo problem.

    Regards Peter

    Same bug for me.

    Windows 10. Was working fine for years until Jan 2025.

    Any fix instead of downgrade?

    The Jan 13 version also has this bug apparently.
