When I lock my iPhone it's WiFi connections turns off

Iphone 15 when in locked status doesn’t receive whatsapp messages in background. This is because wifi turns off when in locked status which is really annoying. Based on what i am reading from other discussions i see people saying it’s “by design “ . If it’s a bug then it’s bad but if it’s by design then it’s worse. I want to keep receiving msges in background when phone is locked and not connecting to mobile data.

Has anyone found a permanent fix to this yet ? All the workarounds mentioned in other discussions did not fix the issue for me.
