My Android phone got bad. I allowed my kids to turn it to a game ball. So the result was that some liquid sipped in. So I had to get a brand new phone.

But before buying a new smartphone, a client just called me (I got back to an old phone I had before upgrading to smartphone). He said he tried to get to me on WhatsApp to no avail.

Oups:

I promised him I was going to be “WhatsApping” the following day. So I got this exciting phone which was shipped with the very exciting smartphone messenger. One of the first things I did after booting the Android device was locate the chat app and tapped to start it.

Your Phone date is inaccurate – WhatsApp on Tizen Samsung

Tizen is a mobile operating system developed by Samsung that runs on a wide range of Samsung handset.

Note that Tizen Store is different from Android Store. While you need a Google Account to connect to Play Store, you need a Samsung Account to connect to the Tizen Store.

To install WhatsApp on Tizen, navigate to Apps Screen -> Tizen Store -> WhatsApp -> Get -> Download -> Launch -> Agree and Continue

Other Samsung devices

I have noticed users of other Samsung devices:

  • Samsung galaxy note,
  • Samsung wave
  • Galaxy grand
  • Samsung gear
  • Galaxy Tab
  • And the Galaxy series: Galaxy s7, Galaxy s3, Galaxy S2, Galaxy s5,  have the famous date issue with WhatsApp. If trying the steps above doesn’t resolve the issues, you may want to upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy.
Dealing with other Mobile device

We may not be able to cover specific details for each and every type of mobile phone and their different operating systems. However, if you have a Windows Phone, Google nexus, Nexus 6, Nokia asha, Xperia, Moto, etc and the instructions I gave above don’t work for you, you may have to consult your phone fabricator.

Backdate your phone. This may work

If trying any of the solutions above doesn’t work, you should step the date of your device one day earlier. If today is the 12th of December, step it back to 11th.

Some users have reported this to work with some bugs though. They don’t get to be able to download images. However, they send and receive messages.

You cannot use WhatsApp for pc with this error

One of my students asked if they could use WhatsApp web or the PC version of the chat app without having to worry about solving the date problem.

It’s clear you can’t. The desktop and web versions are simply mirroring the mobile version. If your mobile WhatsApp messenger isn’t function, there is no way you can operate the web edition

To go ahead and setup the messaging app on your desktop, go to the official website and download whatsApp installation file.

Using Facebook Messenger and other alternatives

There are many different mobile messaging apps out there and Facebook is hugely used on the list. Many mobile messaging device owners don’t often face technical difficulties with Facebook.

We have Wechat, Telegram, Viber, etc that can effectively run on mobile phones with the Android operating system, and if you ever start doubting the validity of the phone numbers that you have amongst your contacts, you can always resort to a tool like ClearoutPhone to give them a quick check and always have a clean environment for both personal and business purposes.
