Same issue here. whatsapp calls on WiFi USED TO WORK.


I turned phone off then back on.

I’ve tried forgetting the WiFi network, and then reconnected.

All Notifications were already on so I turned them off and then back on.

WhatsApp and iOS are updated.


whatsapp calls only work on data.


whatsapp calls will not work on WiFi - once making or answering a call it then says “reconnecting to (name)” with the recurring beep sound. It will reconnect for a second and then gone again back to reconnecting.


whatsapp messaging will work on data and info.


please help! Thank you.

I am also facing the same issue over WiFi calling on WhatsApp. This issue started post the iOS 14 version update and there are no fix to it yet. Checked with the WhatsApp developers, there are no issues from their end as the same is working on other user’s iPhone. This is surely a bug in iOS 14 which Apple needs to resolve asap. It’s really frustrating of not able to use your fav app.

As per Apple support team, they are putting this issue on the app developers of WhatsApp. I told them that this has nothing to do with the application as it’s working fine over cellular network. Apple needs to check with their iOS developers on priority basis as the number of users affected are increasing day by day. From the beta version this issue has been highlighted then why the Apple developers didn’t worked on this issue. It’s a serious issue.
