I am an iPhone 7 user using iOS 15.8.3. Background app refresh is not working. Messages from WhatsApp are only shown as delivered when I enter WhatsApp. No notifications are received.

iPhone 7plus - no notifications after ios15.7.2 upgrade Hello There Community Experts, I recently updated my iPhone 7+ with ios15.7.2 and instantly all notifications have stopped. Particularly annoying is that WhatsApp notifications have stopped. I have tried all the usual steps suggested on the internet (focus mode, low power mode, toggled all notifications manually and even reset my phone). Still could not get notifications to work. Partcularly when troubleshooting notifications on WhatsApp, I noticed that the message is not even delivered (as seen on sender’s WhatsApp). This leads me to believe that the issue is with background data refresh. Notifications do appear if Whatsapp is opened and in foreground, so definitely a background data refresh issue. Anyone facing a similar issue and has managed to resolve it? Please help. Thanks!
