app does not load whatsapp messages on start-up

[Alfagiovanni56]

Since this morning I am not able to load my whatsapp messages in the whatsie snap app, which I have been using without any problem for yearts now. On starting up and after having tried to connect to whatsapp messages, an error message is shown with the communication than un unexpected error has occurred with a button to retry. Trying again always triggers the same error message. See screenshot in attachment.

My system is Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS and the snap package is 'latest/stable: v4.16.3.20eef26 2024-11-01 (165) 18MB'. I have also tried the latest/edge package, but with the same result.

If I install alternative snap packages for whatsapp, they seem to work well, which could be an indication that the problem is linked to this specific app.

i was having the same issue - whatsie was fine this morning using the 2025 snap. then i constantly got "unexpected error".

i cleared all, and reinstalled the snap and got the same issue.

i compiled from the github source and got the same issue.

i spammed the reload button while writing this and before posting i checked the app, it's working now..j

I just retried and everything works again, both the stable package and the edge package, which I re-installed. I disinstalled the alternative, since Whatsie is and remains my favourite for Whatsapp on my linux machine. I hope that this problem won't re-occur!
