@NY79 can you try a flow card without the image and see if that works? I saw a error on the image. Homey couldn’t download it

</div>

in fact without the image it works well. I don’t understand why Homey can no longer download the image. So the problem wouldn’t come from the app?  
THANKS

@NY79 thats what I was thinking indeed.

I can check if I can enhance the image downloading on the WhatsApp side. Already did that a while ago and that worked perfectly. But there might be 1 thing I can do

Edit: can you also please check if the image does exist?

everything is restored on my side. I reset Homey and my camera and recreated the flow with the image and it works again. thank you very much for this responsiveness.

@Lianne_Strik looks like memory issue. Which homey do you have ?

I deleted a few apps and tried it again before I made a report but the issue is still the same. I have the homey pro 2023. I think I have like 400 mb left now in the homey’s memory.

No not anymore. Some text went out of the box and my brain can’t handle that 😂 (software developer).

</div>

@Lianne_Strik would have been nice to have shared that feedback with me 😉

But can you go to the device itself and click the clear chats button? It probably still keeps track of the chat. Athom didn’t provide a way to unlist widgets (in code).

Oh and if it has too much chats in memory it crashes. HP23 feature 😛

Yes, sorry, I will do that next time. Thanks for the tip, I deleted the chats! I also have a widget for my app and have made a refresh button for it because the widget thing is still very confusing for me to make. I actually got whatsapp as an example but you write your code in a more complex way then I do 😂 so I didn’t understand everything but it was a great help for me to understand a homey app! I just made my app in 1 week and with 500+ users still 0 crashes so I guess it’s oke.

Yes no worries 😃

Oh nice that you could use it as inspiration. Which app did you make ?

Hope that was a good thing haha 😅

Sounds good! I wish that all my apps have 0 crashes, unfortunately not 🙈  
Hardware is still tricky to properly program.

I made the shopping list app. Yes it’s a good thing that your code is more complex 😂 I’m a junior/medior so still a lot to learn. There is a bug in my app on iphone so it’s still a little bit work in progress but I’m getting there.

Whatsapp does send messages to yourself, but you do not see that a new message has arrived. I am trying to find out how I can create another whatsapp account and use it dedicated for Homey Pro. I have now linked two whatsapp accounts to your app. Both accounts send a notification to both accounts, so I receive a notification from my wife and my wife receives a notification from me. By the way, your app works great. I am happy with it.

@Robin_Blekemolen  
I heard that @LRvdLinden had the same issue  
Not sure if he still does

I will check if theres an update available but seems like a server error (on the WhatsApp side)

@Robin_Blekemolen I made that message 😛

But not sure what happens  
Are you able to delete the app and reinstall?
