Thanks, there are some cases where the UserAgent is slightly malformed which throws up this problem. There's a fix coming out for this very shortly

Thanks everyone for reporting. It looks like the root cause is that the UserAgent is slightly malformed in the ServiceWorker which causes WhatsApp to incorrectly report that the browser is out of date. This doesn't seem to happen on all machines but after a certain sequence of events.

We've pushed a fix out in version 4.10.1 which addresses this so it shouldn't happen again.

After updating, depending on how the UserAgent detection failed, you may need to clear browsing data for this account or re-add it. Either option should clear the message...

Clear browsing data

  1. Right click on the account and go to Account Settings
  2. Go to the tools section
  3. Double click Clear all browsing data

Re-add the account

  1. Right click on the account and pick Delete Account
  2. Click the Add button and search for WhatsApp
  3. Follow the on-screen wizard to complete the process

Awesome, works like a charm :) Thanks for the fast update!

I'm adding to this. I stupidly decided to delete the WhatsApp service and now the QR code does not work when I try to scan from the phone. Works fine when using Chrome desktop.

I'm on 4.10.1.

EDIT: I figured it out. I had Dark Reader on. Dark Reader stops the QR code from working ...

@zeusontwowheels thanks for the info about the Dark Reader :)
