Windows 10: whatsapp desktop crashing when i try to send an image

pretty simple issue but literally nothing is coming up online, whatsapp desktop app is crashing constantly whenever i try to send- whether this be by using copy and paste, click & drop or anything else. the same applies with files. i cant even send gifs anymore, i have to switch to the website to send anything like that.

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,
wg

 

Sending files in Whatsapp Web not possible anymore?

Lately, when dragging any file to a chat in Whatsapp Web (which is opened in Edge) to send it, it says that the file is not supported. It used to work normally.

Restarting and logging off/in Whatsapp Web doesn't fix this. I prefer to use Whatsapp Web above the standalone app.

Anyone else having this problem?

 

How to turn "Send to" menu to just "Send it to Desktop"  

Surely it doesn't Even if you leave a single thing in that folder, you still need to choose send to > desktop which is 2 steps.

OP and I were looking for the exact same thing, and looks like the answer is pretty much what I want. Thank you.
