Fixing Crashing issue of WhatsApp

A few time the app will crash on your device. I had noticed this on HTC and on Nokia X. This can be due to some language pack. The best thing to do is to re-install the app back again. This will not delete your messages. They will be restored once you add them back again. Uninstall it from App Manager which is in the Settings and then go on Google Play and install it back.
