I am not sure why this has to be asked to WhatsApp support as the issue is only on the iOS version of WhatsApp.

Whatsapp is a third party app, not an Apple app. Third party apps need to make their app compatible with whatever OS they are being used with.

And, it means that Whatsapp is not coded to be working perfectly with iOS. That would be the developer's problem.

I just posted the same question -- https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252982363

In case you have not tried it if you copy and paste that message in App like Notes or Google Keep it appears there fully.

Thanks Abhijit for your reply

Copy to notes is also not working as it's coping only message which is visible (which is incomplete). And I am also wondering why I should contact WhatsApp if problem is with iOS.

Are you facing same problem?

That's hard luck then. It has worked for me in my case when I tried copying the message to notes or Google keep. Although it appears incomplete in WhatsApp, after I copy it in one of these apps, it shows the remaining content of the message there.
