@Robin_Blekemolen they will be broken 😕 You can repair them though: [[HOW-TO][Pro][Cloud] - Tool to FIX (advanced) flows after removing and re-adding devices](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-pro-cloud-tool-to-fix-advanced-flows-after-removing-and-re-adding-devices/65018) ---

@Marco0499 are you using the WhatsApp dashboard widget? If not can you clear the WhatsApp chats by going to the device in homey and click clear widget chat ---

@Marco0499 nothing to see in the log as the app is crashed Most of the time a memory issue. By the looks you are not on a HP23 ? So I would suggest checking the available memory of your apps ---
**Author:** ![Marco0499](https://sea1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/user_avatar/community.homey.app/marco0499/32/12537_2.png) [@Marco0499](https://community.homey.app/u/Marco0499)\ **Post date:** [January 18, 2025, 7:56am UTC](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-whatsapp-simple-reliable-private/90749/1216 "2025-01-18T07:56:12Z")
it is indeed not an hp23. I assume you mean the available memory of the homey itself? it was at 925 out of 1000 and I have now brought it to 900. Can the memory usage per app also be reduced? I see that Whattsapp is using a lot? ---

@Marco0499 in case of WhatsApp this is what it is. I can’t reduce it more. There’s a lot going on to create the connection. And a lot of encryption and decryption which is memory intensive ---

Do you have any tips to reduce memory usage? I understand that you should use as few different apps as possible, but are there other ways? ---

@Marco0499 restart apps frequently or do a nightly homey restart A lot of apps have memory leaks causing them to increase memory over time I always do a nightly restart On my HP19 and HP23 Keeps the memory to a minimum ---

@Lukasz_Kostek you don’t get notification when you send a message to yourself That also doesn’t happens in normal WhatsApp app on your phone If you want to receive notifications from homey I recommend getting a prepaid and use that in homey ---

First of all I will restore my message, I see that I accidentally deleted it. This may help other people in the future. As soon as there is a WhatsApp message with an image (camera screenshot) to be sent from an existing flow to the WhatsApp group, suddenly the app crashes. Tested with multiple flows and different (Foscam) cameras. The Foscam app works well, neatly retrieves screenshots from the cameras. If I create a new flow with a test message TEXT + IMAGE then the app also crashes, but if I create a test message with only TEXT then it works, both to the group and directly to my number 🤔 After trying a few times it now works sometimes and sometimes not, very strange. However, you do not get any notification of this, and you will have to manually restart the app in Homey. WhatsApp works again after reconnecting with WhatsApp, something that didn’t work before. I was restarting the app when I noticed that the exclamation mark remained at the virtual WhatsApp device. Then it indicated that it had to be recombined. Reregistered as a device in WhatsApp and everything works again after defect. Very strange this, looks like an external storage if you ask me.
