Wrong date errors on WhatsApp usually occur when you switch your phone to a different time zone. That way, you can try to fix the date and time on your Android or iPhone to see if it helps. Here's how.


Step 1: Open the Settings app on your Android and navigate to the system.


Step 2: Tap the Date and Time option and toggle the switch next to 'Use network-provided time'. If necessary, you can also set a different time zone from here by turning off the 'Use network-provided time zone' option.


Step 3: Now manually set the correct date and time one by one.

If you encounter the wrong date error even after setting the correct date on your phone, you can try rebooting your phone. Doing so will restart all apps and processes on your phone and fix any minor bugs responsible for the error.


4. Update WHATSAPP

Sometimes, using an older version of WhatsApp can lead to an incorrect date error. So, to get rid of such problems, apps on your phone should be updated regularly. And the same goes for your phone's operating system.


So go ahead and update WhatsApp from Play Store or App Store with your Android or iPhone to see if it solves the problem.


5. Reinstall WHATSAPP

WhatsApp collects a lot of media and other data if you use it for some time. That data may be lost. Therefore, if updating the app doesn't help, you can try uninstalling WhatsApp and reinstalling it on your phone. This will clear all app data (including cache) and fix any app related issues.
