Thanks in advance.

Third-party apps can't change the basic functioning of the iPhone. I believe that WhatsApp would need to make the app compatible with Focus Filters. As I don't have the app on my phone, I can't tell you if it is or isn't. Go to Settings>Focus>Do Not Disturb (or whichever) and go all the way to the bottom of the scree and tap "Add Filter". If WhatsApp is compatible, you should see it there.
