Windows 10: Whatsapp desktop asking for update, but I'm unable to update app.

WhatsApp asking me to update the app, but when I try to access the update, there is nothing to click. When checking the Microsoft play store and checking my library, WhatsApp isn't there at all. When accessing my settings from windows, WhatsApp is an app, but there is no update option. I would reinstall, but my phone screen black, despite it still being connected to the internet, so I don't want to take risk in not being able to access WhatsApp. What should I do?

Unable to scroll a long message in WhatsApp while typing

Ok, I will check for an update.
It's with WhatsApp only.
Clearing cache, ok I'll check that.

 

Unable to scroll a long message in WhatsApp while typing

Ok, I just updated whatsapp but it's still the same, unable to scroll the message.
I'm not sure how to "clear the cache", I don't think it would help either.
My mom has never been able to scroll in a long message that she's typing.
It's just that you CAN scroll a message on android and it just does not work on a windows phone somehow.

 

Whatsapp desktop - making a chat / call with no contacts


A friend uses Whatsapp from a phone. I'd like to use whatsapp from my desktop or phone to communicate with them.

I have installed whatsapp on my android phone and have connected the desktop. And am leaving the phone turned on, as directed.

I refused to permit Whatsapp to read my contacts, etc.. I'm not a big facebook fan and know that they share everything everywhere and sell it everywhere.

However, I cannot figure a way to make or even receive a call using whatsapp without using my contacts list.
Is this true or is there something I'm missing. On the desktop app I put in a phone number and it wants to search my contacts, which of course it does not have. After using "Create Group" same thing.

No way to make a call at all with whatsapp if you don't share your contacts with it?

if so, Whatsapp is completely broken for me.

And if so that's fine since I can use Skype or Discord just fine.

Thanks much,
