It probably means that the WhatsApp app hasn’t been updated yet to fix your problem.
Soon an updated version will become available. When it does, try downloading it again and it should fix your problem.
Take note of the current version from the app page on Google Play so you know what it has been updated. Make sure you are fully uninstalling the app from your device before installing the app again.
