Sequoia 15.1 is slows iMessage & WhatsApp keyboard input

Since MacOS 15.1 update I have a very slow keyboard input for iMessage and WhatsApp. I have turned off VPN just in case.

Those are the only two apps where this happens.

CPU usage is very low on both apps


Any thoughts or suggestions?

Haven't gotten to the end of the thread, so it may be suggested already. But I've found a solution, or better said a workaround.

  1. Delete WhatsApp for Mac
  2. Go in your browser (for me that's Chrome), go to WhatsApp Web and log in
  3. Then you go to the 3 vertical dots in the upper right corner, go to Save & Share (or for me that's Casting, Saving & Sharing) > see screenshot (sorry it's in Dutch)
  4. Click on Open in WhatsApp Webb

That created a shortcut in my dock, different colour than the usual app-icon, but it works and my god the delay is gone. So happy!
