I can’t log in at WhatsApp web anymore since 15.7 iPadOS. It says that I need to update to safari 11

Not sure if you still have this problem.

Two solutions:

Install either Firefox or Chrome in addition to Safari and follow the normal process

or:

When you do it in Safari and get this irritating message about having to update to Safari 11 click on the Aa-‘icon’ on the address bar (of Safari) and select: Choose mobile website. :-)

Not sure what Apple charged in the default settings or rather, why they did so, but ‘problem’ solved.

What are you talking about? As far as I know, Safari was created and is developed by Apple! So what third-party vendor are you thinking about? Simply, after the latest iOS update, WhatsApp web doesn't work with Safari which means that Apple update has created above problem!!

The app you are accessing here is a substantial and complex app created and maintained by Meta, code which deliberately obfuscates itself, and code that is using Safari for the rendering. Or not using, in this case.

It would appear that something within that stew of Meta code has malfunctioned.

Contact Meta for assistance with Meta products and services.

Even if this is a Safari problem, then Meta is still in the best position to address this with Apple, as Meta has access to the website code that causes this report.

Thanks for your answer. I’m using Google Chrome on both of my daughter’s iPads now. So I can confirm that WhatsApp Web works with Google Chrome.

Downloaded Firefox issue solved, working well until they fix Safari issue.

Chrome works too as web page

Not sure if Meta reads this forum, but as of 10 minutes ago, the ‘solution’ to ask for the ‘mobile version’ of the webpage is or at least seems, no longer working.

So, Chrome or Firefox then.

The only browser that is supporting is Firefox I know nobody wants to download new apps but still if you really need it then you can use this as an option

Same! I think it is Safari issue, not developers fault.

Before iPadOS 15.7 the app used to work. Now, unfortunately, it is only working on Firefox.

but there’s no way i can contact a safari developer with the issue.

Why not?

Only an app developer can fix a problem with their app. Their app is broken.

Install Firefox, the open web.whatsapp.com via Firefox !

Neither WhatsApp or Apple are helping fix this issue …

Since iPad update to iOS 15.7 WhatsApp web no longer works. WhatsApp produces a window saying update Safari, Google chrome etc. You can’t as Safari is linked to the iOS update!

contacted WhataApp they were of no help!

Contact its developer: Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support.

Examining the page source for "WhatsApp Web" yields the following supported browsers:

Chrome

Firefox

Microsoft Edge

Opera

That is all.

Please try now..it has started working now ✌️

How can it be an App developer problem , when the App was working fine before an update, come on Apple get your act together and sort it out, we have paid good money for our devices , and we expect you to use proper diligence before releasing something that causes problems for your “ customers/ clients”
