Hi Sieghar,

I had to reauthorize Whatsapp on my windows PC

with a QR code and it indeed did change and is not as accessible as I had been used to.

So what is this about the app, is that the way to go now to make it usefulable again?

Also do you know if there any scripts

for NVDA?

    Keep in mind that WhatsApp on a Windows computer becomes more or

    decided to change it from being a UWP (Universal Windows Platform)
    app to a web app.

    Doug Lee has written Jaws scripts which reinstate much of the
    previous functionality, but you of course would have to know that
    and download them from www.dlee.org <http://www.dlee.org>.

    This is off topic, but I can tell you that unless you alter this
    parameter, automatic updates are the default option in Windows.
    Either-way, make sure by following these steps:

     1. Push windows key to open the start menu and type “store” in
        the search box. Now hit enter on Microsoft Store.
     2. Once the store is open, tab until you hear the screen reader
        saying, “user profile,” and push down the space bar.
     3. Now arrow down as many times as needed to reach the option
        that reads, “store settings,” and hit enter.
     4. At this point, tab a few times to reach the option to verify
        automatic updates.

    Hello,

    Is it possible to tell WhatsApp to update automatically?

    I have it in my iPhone and also in Windows.

    I found difficult to update it in Windows, and someone told me
    that he didn’t have to update it in Windows manually because
    WhatsApp updated automatically. But he didn’t remember how to do it.
