Update:
The WhatsApp update is causing issues, as reported by many of you. After update, users are not able to use the app, as it gets stuck at creating favorites or else nothing shows up in Chats and groups.
While WhatsApp needs to issue a bug-fixing update to take care of the bugs urgently, what you can try is uninstalling and reinstalling the app. After re-installation, when you will open the app it will ask for restore of message backup, don’t do it or it will again get stuck at Favorites. This way, you will lose all your chats, but WhatsApp will start working again.
