iPhone app update, Now broadcasts received in "Unknown Group" #942

Open Osmanbakri opened 9 years ago

Did any one face this issue?

when i send a broadcast using the API , the iPhone recipients (whom they updated to latest version) gets it in a newly created group called "Unknown Group" instead of the usual 1 to 1 conversation.

the same broadcast includes Samsung users but they are getting the broadcasts as usual.

What could be the issue ? anything to be changed in the API to prevent the group creation.

BR,

@Osmanbakri: do you have access to an iphone? do you can verfiy that this happens also if you use the original broadcast-function from the original whatsapp-client?

Osmanbakri commented 9 years ago

Hi @dennobaby yes in the iphone i am receiving other broadcasts normally , only from the api they are getting in the "unknown group". maybe @mgp25 or @shirioko can think of something...

UPDATE: the created "Unknown Group" disappears and you lose the received message , although you get the notification.

can confirm that. Think Whatsapp changed something in the protocol with last update regarding broadcast-messages. one interesting point is, that other clients like android and windows-phone are not affected.
