Users on WhatsApp’s beta version 2.24.24.5 are reporting a green screen issue. This issue isn’t simply tinting the screen green; rather, the entire screen is just a solid block of green, making the app usable. It appears the issue is triggered when clicking on any chat.

WhatsApp continuously works to introduce new features to its consumers with the aim of enhancing their overall user experience. WhatsApp often tries these new features among select users by releasing it in beta versions.

Don’t get confused by green lines, which are permanent damage on smartphones with OLED screens, where a single line of LEDs turns green. In this case, when a user tries to open WhatsApp, the entire screen turns green until they close the app.

WhatsApp beta version 2.24.24.5 faces an issue wherein the app returns to a green screen while opening a chat. This version of WhatsApp beta also contains a force close bug, rendering it unusable. The only remedy right now is rolling back to an older version of WhatsApp,
