It should have been fixed in last week's release across the mobile and desktop platforms. Are you continuing to have issues? If so, which software and which version are you using?

What about photoshop in creative cloud? I am unable to load images sent to me via whatsapp in photoshop... and no it doesn't need to be updated. In fact, it used to work just fine.

Easy fix. Open first the Whatsapp image on any image viewer and then save them as jpg. I use IrfanView which helps me also to enlarge images without loosing our resolution

In case you have many broken files it would be better to process them at once. I've created a free and open source utility to fix this issue.

Aynı hata ile karşılaştım. Bazı "JPEG" formatlarının sıkıştırılması sırasında yaşanan bir sorun var. Detaylı teknik bilgiye sahip değilim. Ama çözümü basit. JPEG uzantılı dosyayı, "PAINT" programında açıyorsunuz ve hiçbir değişiklik yapmadan! "KAYDET" diyorsunuz.

Ok, i found a workaround on Mac:

Change the file extension from *.jpeg to *.jpg.

Right click and open the files in the Screenshot-app that appears in 'open with'.

Hit 'save' and close Screenshot.

Now I was able to open the files in Photoshop.

Just called Adobe Support. They told me that some video cards aren't compatible with the last Photoshop update. You have to update your driver, if it doesn't work, you have to open the image in Paint, save as jpg again and than open in Photoshop.

First of all, my apologize if I mispelled some words but english is not my mother tongue.

When I import WhatsApp pictures from my cellphone to my laptop there is no problem, but when I import WhatsApp pictures using photoshop it appears an error.

I changed the extension from ".jpg" to "jpeg" and the error was solved.

I hope it helps you, guys
