WhatsApp crashing on iPhone since yesterday

WhatsApp has not been working for me since yesterday. The app opens for a fraction of a second and then shuts down. Cannot send or receive messages/calls. Have tried everything from rebooting to deleting and reinstalling the app to resetting network settings. Anybody else face this issue?

First try a forced restart, if that doesn't work reinstall the app, there may be a new version. If that doesn't work contact the app developer for help with their software.


Try a forced restart.


• Press and quickly release the volume up button

• Press and quickly release the volume down button

• Press and hold the side button.

• When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
