Whatsapp search

I have upgraded my phone to iPhone 14 pro max. It has been a nightmare. WhatsApp does not back up using any wi-fi, except at the Apple Store.


When trying to search for an old message, it keeps showing "preparing results (0%)".


I deleted the application and installed it again. I reseted my network settings. I signed off iCloud and signed back.


I am desperate. Went twice to Genius Bar, no solution. They asked to contact WhatsApp. WhatsApp asked to talk to Apple. Blaming each other with no solution.


Anyone facing the same problem?


iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

I had the same issue and it takes like 20 minutes..


I started stucked in 1% then i went to icloud, apps using icloud, and deactivate whatsapp… came back to whatsapp and search something ans it was in 3%… the. go back to icloud and activate whatsapp… go back to Wsp and it was in 5%… back again to icloud, deactivate, and back again to whatsapp…. 7%…


and repeat the proces until 95% and it started to run alone…


now it works just like before..
