If you have reached this point, it is because you have encountered the following image in the Whatsender extension.
What this means is that there is an error while working with the new version. WhatSender has reverted you to the old version where you are not able to work with the extension closed (in the background).This indicates that when you go to the «User» tab, within the advanced settings section, the button labeled «Activate the old sending system»will be active.
If it’s activated, as shown in the image above, you’ll need to keep the extension open to be able to send messages.In your case, our system hasn’t allowed you to use the new system, which most commonly occurs because the extension doesn’t have permissions in Google Chrome.
To fix this, follow the tutorial below. Step by step and in ORDER. Don’t skip any steps, as that will prevent the solution from working.
Step 1: Update Google Chrome.
- Open Google Chrome on your computer if it’s not already open.
- Click on the icon with three vertical dots in the top-right corner of the browser window. This will open a dropdown menu.
- In the menu, hover your cursor over the «Help» option. A submenu will appear.
- In the «Help» submenu, select the «About Google Chrome» option. This will open a new tab in your browser.
- In the new tab, Google Chrome will automatically begin searching for available updates. If a new version is found, it will start downloading it and then show you a button that says «Relaunch.»
- Click on the «Relaunch» button to apply the update. The browser will close and restart automatically.
- After restarting, Google Chrome should be updated to the latest available version.
Step 2: UNINSTALL the extension.

You can find the steps to follow Here.Step 5: Close Chrome. Close all tabs and windows that are active. Nothing should remain open at all.
