iPhone 12 Instagram Video issues and whatsapp Crash

Recently I got an iPhone 12, and Whatsapp crashes after open it. And instagram has no video playback (only sound). Both issues happen on the same session and the only way to fix it is a restart.

Most of the time WhatsApp and Instagram work fine. I have tried reinstalling the apps but the issue is present using the latest versions.

Coincidentally both apps belong to Facebook. And I would like to know if this is a known issue and if there is a solution. Or if it is a hardware / iPhone issue? There is plenty of storage on my iPhone, and it is not a space problem.

Thanks

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 14

Recently Apple Wallet also started acting up, a blank screen and no feedback. Including the WhatsApp and Instagram issues.


Solution


Via settings -> general -> language -> Changing from English US to English UK solved the issue.


At least no reboot is necessary on the device.
