I recently bought an Apple Iphone 13 Pro and copied the data from my previous XR. Everything worked fine, but for some reason, the notification list under settings does not contain WhatsApp. It appears all other apps are in the list. Can someone advise how to get this added to the list so I get notifications again? I am afraid to delete the app and reload, as I think I will then lose all history.
Any ideas? Many thanks.
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15
You are right about losing chat history if you delete the app.
In theory you can do the iCloud backup in the settings of WhatSapp app itself then on reinstalling the app you can reinstate the iCloud backup. I have not tested this so it is at your own risk.
You do have some control over Notifications inside the WhatsApp app itself but telling it whene to put the notifications and temp or permanent you do need the iphone notification settings.

Hi.. thank you so much. I tried this and it worked. I only lost the last messages between backups (stupid me for not checking when the last was), but other than that it is back in order.
Many thanks for your help!
Oh great! You're welcome.
