Freezing Whatsapp

[sinatra87]

Does anyone know how to resolve the " not optmosed for touches " error on WhatsApp on the Samsung A series? My A13 has been misbehaving since the day I updated to android 14.

I've tried updating but nothing has been resolved

You probably dont use the Original WhatsApp, you probably use third party apps for WhatsApp.

It's the normal Whatsapp from play store ..I don't use 3rd party applications

Try updating all your apps and Software including Google System updates.
