WhatsApp Update Breaks Photo Sharing, Fix on the Way

Joe Fedewa is 23 years old and lives near Lansing, Michigan. He's been interested in technology ever since he got his first flip phone. Since then he's evolved from flip phones to smartphones, and become even more interested in everything from cord cutting to web browsers. Joe is also an avid sports fan and sci-fi movie geek. He's a Joe of all trades.

Just a few hours ago we let you know that WhatsApp received a nice update in the Marketplace, but it seems all is not well. Users have been reporting that update made it impossible to open received images or videos. A reader over at WPCentral let the developer know about this problem and this was their response:

The submission for 1.6 came from a “tainted” build machine and was not linked correctly.  This makes us fail to download media.  We regret the error and have sent an update to Microsoft.

Regards,
Andrew

Hopefully Microsoft gives the fix the “a-okay” quickly. Are any of you experiencing this problem?
