Hi ItsThommo,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand Siri won't send a WhatsApp message to a WhatsApp group after the latest iOS update. Since the issue is isolated to WhatsApp, we recommend going through the steps in this article even though the steps are for a slightly different issue: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open.


"If an app on your iPhone or iPad doesn't work as expected, try this.


  1. Close and reopen the app

Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

 

2. Restart your device

Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.

 

3. Check for updates

To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad.

 

4. Delete the app, then redownload it

Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.
