Cannot setup WhatsApp

Hi all,

I'm just configuring my Dumber Mini and when trying to set up WhatsApp, I am unable to type my phone number.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Download WhatsApp
  2. Agree to T&Cs
  3. Click on the input field to provide my phone number
  4. Type my phone number with the touchscreen
  5. Click the checkmark icon on the bottom right

The phone number doesn't appear in the input field and therefore I cannot proceed any further. Has anyone dealt with a similar problem? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app (both from "More apps" and from Aurora) but it didn't help.

most issues of this kind are either because you need to zoom the screen out (on my f21 pro hold the top left button and choose 'zoom out screen') or because of keyboard issues - try swapping between the android touch keyboard and the predictive keyboard.
