Please my iPhone 7 Plus fails to open the WhatsApp successfully. I downloaded the app and created the account. Then a blank screen appeared since. I’ve received messages from friends but WhatsApp doesn’t open. It is just blank

Try Deleting the app, performing a Forced Restart, then re-installing the app. If none of that works you’ll need to contact WhatsApp and troubleshoot with their support team as this is their app, not Apple’s.

you can updated latest iOS but still bro. I don't know what's wrong with iPhone 7 Plus this days

Your first sentence is incorrect. The iPhone 7 Plus cannot receive the latest iOS updates. Your second sentence can be partially correct as there are some things wrong with it as a result, such as not running certain apps.

There is a solution from Mr. Bektaş from in Turkey.

1-Delete and install WhatsApp from AppStore.

2-Open it.

3-Enter phone number.

4-Skip iCloud step.

5-STOP when it asks for “your name”. STOP.

6-Close Wi-Fi and Cellular data.

7-Return WhatsApp, enter your username.

8-Continue. No blank screen.

9-And open your internet connections(6)

I've to change my password, went through two-factor authentication, create a community username, check here, check there, get code, introduce code, error, resend, and who knows how many more layers I had to go through


just to say


Thank you, Babu!


I noticed that when tapping my name it was super laggy, but hasn't thought about disabling connections,

worked like a charm.
