An earlier report from the same source had claimed that WhatsApp’s latest beta version 2.18.109 was affected by the ‘mysterious bug’ that replaced timestamps with ASCI codes. WhatsApp beta version 2.18.109 for Android was first released on April 12.

Timestamps for chats on the WhatsApp beta version for Android were showing as “89ESTERDAY and “84ODAY” instead of “Yesterday” and “Today”.  The bug was changing the first alphabets of the timestamps with ASCII codes. As soon as the bug was reported online, the WhatsApp team had pushed an update that fixed the issue.

If you're among the users who were annoyed by the faulty timestamps, you can download the latest WhatsApp beta version on your device by visiting Google Play. You can also download its APK file directly from APK Mirror.
