## New app update (🟩 LIVE: [1.38.6](https://homey.app/a/com.whatsapp)):

> **Changelog:**
> 
> **NEW:**  
> **1:** None
> 
> **FIXES:**  
> **1:** HOTFIX: add fallbacks due to nodejs upgrade in SDK

> 🚩 I made some custom modifications to the SDK a while ago. Today I synced with the latest version of the SDK, which overwrote my custom changes. Since I’m already running the Homey experimental version with Node.js 22, I didn’t encounter this error myself.

@RonvH @Kevin_Hunt keep in mind that removing the app removes your devices and brick your flows. Always try to update/install from app page

Hi Martijn, messages are reported correctly in the latest version, but images are not transferred to Whatsapp. Possibly a pending issue ? (v1.38.6 on Homey 2016)

App is up to date, new device added, but it still doesn’t work. Do I have to reinstall?

Don’t have much time, only some in the early morning, so my reactions could be a bit late sometimes.
