Apple watch stopped making Whatsapp notification sound after ios11 update

Hi everyone, I’ve just updated my watch series 6 to IOS11 and since doing that my watch no longer makes the classic notification “ding” when I receive a Whatsapp message. Up until now it always made this sound and now it only vibrates, doesn’t change if it’s on silent or not. I haven’t changed any settings and they are all unchanged on my iphone, watch, watch app, Whatsapp itself… I’ve checked everywhere. I’ve also rebooted both devices, no change.


All my other notification sounds seem to be working fine, Whatsapp is the only problem.


I’m guessing this is just an error or a bug but has any one else experienced this on their watch? Or would anyone know what the problem could be?


Any imput would be much appreciated. Thanks

Apple Watch Series 6

It seems that WhatsApp has not updated its app to completely work with Apple's new Watch OS. It's always up to any third-party app to make necessary changes to their product. This means there is nothing Apple can do to help in your case. It is up to WhatsApp to make the changes.

I updated my series 6 to Watch OS 11 and my WhatsApp notifications stopped working (sounds and haptics). I got the series 10 and the same issues. WhatsApp doesn't even appear in the "MIRROR IPHONE ALERTS FROM" section anymore. It's so frustrating.
