Whatsapp App not linking to Whatsapp Desktop

I'm encountering the same error here! I just switched from an Android phone to an iPhone 15 Pro Max, and now the desktop app isn't working. It worked just fine with my Android phone. I had to transfer the WhatsApp data from the Android to the iPhone; could that somehow be the problem?

I am having the same problem as well. I was linking WhatsApp desktop from my Android and it was working smoothly. But when I switched to iPhone only the web one was working. It is so frustrating. WhatsApp/Apple Please look into this and solve the problem

I’m using iPhone 15 (base model) and I’m having the same issue. Tried it with WhatsApp Desktop version 2.2417.4.0 and also with WhatsApp Beta 2.2418.3.0. Not working on either. Is it solved for others here?

Took me several tries to get by the awful WhatsApp support robot but I was finally able to report the error to WhatsApp and they are aware. I'm guessing this will be fixed in the next release. In the meantime, WhatsApp Web will work as a workaround (https://web.whatsapp.com/).

This was their official answer yesterday:

Thanks for reporting this. We’re aware there’s an ongoing issue on WhatsApp and we’re working to resolve it as soon as possible. We’ll share your report with the team working on this issue and we’re sorry for any inconvenience this is causing.

Updated WA as per the thread below, and I still have the error message today 21.04.24/ on an Iphone 14 tryna link to my WA desktop app. Solutions?

Hay Apple and WhatsApp Support team,

I switched from Samsung android Phone to iPhone 15 Pro max and I'm facing the same issue here every time I try to link WhatsApp to my PC, knowing that It was working perfectly with android Samsung phone.

You should release an update very soon to fix this issue.

My iPhone: 15 pro max.

My PC OS: Windows 11 Home.

Same issue here with an iPhone 13, yesterday was working great with my Pixel, now I can´t link.

I updated to that version, and the same problem still occurs with my iphone 15 pro

Doesn't work for me even with the last version (v2.2414.8.0)

I am also having similar issue running now for over a month.

Iphone Pro with Windows 11, WhatsApp does not link at all. But it does link with Android.

WhatsApp support just sent me an email saying that they´re aware of the issue and will try to fix it soon. We can do nothing but wait...

This is a follow-up to today's message - There was a new version of WhatsApp for Windows published an hour ago and the issue with the iPhone 15 has been resolved!

The version published was 2.2413.1.0 and you can update it via Microsoft Store (if it hasn't updated automatically already). I'm already linked and back to work.

I've tried with the latest version, but still not working with my iPhone 15 plus. I wrote them an email, let´s see what they say.

I told them about the error more than a week ago, and they said the same to me (now they are not even responding my emails anymore). There was another update some days ago, but still the same error. Don´t know when it would be fix though.
