WhatsApp Business is extremely laggy on iPhone 12 — scrolling freezes and messages delayed I’m using an iPhone 12 for WhatsApp Business and the app has been extremely slow. Scrolling through chat conversations lags badly, and messages take a very long time to send — sometimes up to 40 minutes before they actually go out. I’ve tried reinstalling the app, updating iOS, clearing storage, restarting the phone, and every other possible solution I could find, but nothing works. This is really frustrating because my workplace relies heavily on WhatsApp Business for daily operations, and we manage around 20 WhatsApp Business accounts, so this lag and delay issue is affecting our customer communication seriously. My colleagues using newer iPhones don’t seem to have this issue, so it appears to be specific to the iPhone 12. Kindly let me know if there is any fix or workaround for this. Thank you.

WhatsApp hangs after Siri reads an incoming message out on CarPlay When an incoming message in WhatsApp is read aloud by Siri in CarPlay the app hangs and you cannot reply, reread or not reply. You can press the tiles icon in bottom right of the screen to return to the normal in car display. It also no longer recognises the names of group chats. This has happened for roughly the last 5 days. I have checked the App Store and there is no app update available for WhatsApp. Updating to the latest iOS has had no effect either. For someone who does 2-600 miles a day in the car this is incredibly frustrating.

For any third party app related issues, it is best to contact the Developer and in this case Meta. They have updated their app 12 times in just the last month, with the most recent one being 2 days ago, so make sure you are using the latest version.

With that many updates in such a short period of time, it is clear that very little in-house testing is being done before they are released and the users end up being the bug testers.
