the initial version of this bug report was created using Bugger 0.9.13+git2

Same error on 4.6.0.13+ and on 5.0.0.55 on arm7. But whatsapp works. From time to time it’s complaining on not enough space, but all works - stories and images, video loading. Annoying bug, yea.

I could not upload pic.
Tried 3 times
Then cleaned up.
You mean a restart might have be enough ?
Will give it a try

Yep, restart of whatsapp, every time after first start - restart needed.

Yoe were correct.
3 times restart did the trick
