WhatsApp pics are appearing duplicated on Photos on iPhone

On my iPhone my WhatsApp is set to automatically save the photos I receive on Photos. For me this was working just fine, but a couple of days ago Photos started to save each photo twice. This means that now, if I receive one photo via WhatsApp and then I go to Photos, the same pic appears duplicated.

I've been searching settings on my phone to try to fix this with no luck, I've been looking for it also through the internet but I cannot find the solution. I also tried turning off the "save in Photos" setting, then turning off my phone and then turning "save in Photos" back on but didn't work either.

I'll appreciate any help you can give me.

Thank you! 🔆

iPhone X, iOS 16

Once you update WhatsApp the issue is resolved.

although it may look like no update is available, search in the App Store for what’s app, click on the words “what’s app” and there will be an update button there.
