Uninstall and reinstall the app (*yes, even if it means losing that one chat where Dave explained his conspiracy theory about pigeons*). Still broken? Check if your phone\u2019s OS is updated. If not, your device is basically trying to run a spaceship on a potato battery. <b>Pro tip:<\/b> Restart your phone dramatically, like you\u2019re in a movie defusing a bomb. It helps.

To avoid your ex knowing you\u2019re awake at 3 AM rewatching cat videos:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tap <b>Settings > Privacy > Last Seen &#038; Online<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Choose \u201cMy Contacts\u201d (or \u201cNobody\u201d if you\u2019re embracing your inner ghost).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, there\u2019s a new \u201csilence unknown callers\u201d feature. Enable it. Your sanity will thank you when telemarketers start sobbing into their headsets.  <\/p>\n<h3>Hidden Changes: Because Subtlety Is Overrated<\/h3>\n<p>Buried in the update like a cursed relic: WhatsApp now lets you create <b>avatars that look nothing like you<\/b>. Found it? Good. Now marvel at your digital doppelg\u00e4nger\u2019s inexplicable cheekbones. Meanwhile, \u201cdisappearing messages\u201d now vanish faster than your motivation on a Monday. Adjust the timer under <b>Chat > Disappearing Messages<\/b>\u2014unless you *want* that incriminating brunch order to self-destruct.  <\/p>\n<p>Oh, and groups can now have <b>2,000 members<\/b>.
