Currently the most used and preferred messaging application, WhatsApp has once again made it to the news after users confirmed that there has been quite a prominent bug spotted.
It has been seen and observed by many users. Even some Facebook users in Pakistan has also spotted the glitch as the posts made on facebook were seen to be dated “January, 1970”.
A huge number of users shared screenshots and images of the glitch as they were receiving calls and messages on Whatsapp not from the day or date they actually received it but it rather showed the date “1st January, 1970”. Users were left in a wondering and confused state after looking at the dates shown by the messaging app.
A user posted: “Does anyone know why is this happening in WhatsApp calling?? It’s been the second time that date appeared in two different chats,”
This query was responded to by another user stating that WhatsApp is aware of the issue and it is a “Linux bug based on epoch time”.
A response did come from Whatsapp but none from Facebook, the company that actually owns Whatsapp. According to the response it was clarified that whatsapp is aware of the issue and working on it. That statement read: “working on fixing it in a future update”.
