That's not surprising. WhatsApp is owned by Meta, and they end up having to update their apps a LOT because they are buggy. You could try deleting the automation shortcut and then try setting it up again and hope that works. But if it doesn't, this may well be another in a long line of bugs introduced by Meta and you'd be advised to contact them for help. Apple doesn't own WhatsApp.
