iOS 14 causing wifi issue with WhatsApp audio calls

I have an iPhone 11 and just upgraded to iOS14. However, since the upgrade to iOS14 my WhatsApp audio calls don’t connect using my home wifi network. Before iOS 14, I have never had any issues making WhatsApp audio calls using my wifi network! Secondly, my wife who has an iPhone 6 and an older iOS version has no problem with WhatsApp audio calls using the same wifi network at home. Anyone out there has an idea if there is any way of fixing this issue? I have tried rebooting and resetting my router as well as phone, but the problem still exists. Look forward to some assistance. Thanks.

I have a similar problem.

Go into settings.

then tap on WhatsApp.

look for 'Local Network'

mine is turned off.

i suspect this is the culprit as I don't remember ever seeing that setting!! Before ios14


I have not had a chance to test this though.


I hope it is the solution.
