Problem installing Whatsapp on new iPhone

I have downloaded the App from the App Store on a new iPhone.

When I open the App, the Welcome screen asks me to read the Privacy Policy and tap "Agree & continue" to accept the Terms of Service.

However, when I go to the Privacy Policy there is no option to Agree & continue.

I have contacted Whatsapp support & they say they are aware of an ongoing issue and are working to resolve it as soon as possible.

I find it hard to believe that such an issue would not be fixed almost immediately.

Has anybody else encountered such an issue?

iPhone SE (3rd generation)

I had the same problem on both WhatsApp and WhatsApp business on a small iPhone.

Problem was that the button (half transparent?) didn't work and laid above an hyperlink that linked to the privacy policy webpage. So when I thought I pressed the button, the underlaying webpage was opened.

I installed SwiftKey that gave me an 'Enter'. After typing my cellphone number and pressing enter on the keyboard, it all went well.
