Whatsapp extra fake notification

[WessamHelmy]

Hi everyone,
I just moved from Samsung Galaxy Note 8 to S 24 Ultra, every time I get a new notification on whatsapp I get an extra notification from a contact who did NOT send me anything, which can't be marked as read on notification bar, I tried deleting that contact it appears with a different contact, I searched the web for solution to this but it seems that no one got the same problem, I transferred my chat history with backup on google drive, I tried resetting all the settings, re installing the app, clear app cach, refreshed the contact list, noting worked, it started to annoy me, any suggestions?

Welcome to Android Central! Did you also try clearing the app data, then signing back into your Whatsapp account?

Yes, it didn't work.

Could you share a screenshot of what you're seeing (making sure to block out any identifying info)?

The 1st name that's the true message, the 2nd name in Arabic that's not a real message.

What does it look like if you expand that notification, and then tap specifically on the Arabic one?

Empty chat, nothing there when I open it.
The notification says "تمام" means ok, but it is not real chat.

I did that, 1st thing to do whenever I get a problem with an app. Didn't work.

Even the force stopping the app? Just verifying that part

Yes, I just did it again to verify; it didn't work.

I tried reaching out to WhatsApp support, but it got me nowhere.

Then you probably have to wait until the next update to see if it gets fixed

You can try to see if APK mirror has a higher version and install it to see if it's fixed.
