Android Freezes while using whatsapp

[AC Question]

Hi,

I bought a new Sony Xperia Z2 and installed whatsapp on it. In the beginning there were no issues, but eventually, while using whatsapp the phone started freezing and everytime I have to hard shutdown inorder to get the phone back online to work normally. This only happens when I use whatsapp. Is there a way to overcome this issue? Please suggest a work around. Thanks in advance

You could try clearing the system cache partition. It sounds like something kicks in when you use WhatsApp that causes too much stress on the processor. Clearing the cache may get rid of some problem data.
