Since yesterday evening, WhatsApp keeps crashing about 30 seconds after I open the app.
It’s extremely annoying and frustrating.
I’m using an iPhone 15 with the latest iOS and WhatsApp updates installed.
I’ve already tried:
• soft reset
• restarting the phone
• uninstalling and reinstalling the app via Settings
Has anyone experienced this or has any idea what else I could try?
Thanks in advance.
iPhone 15, iOS 26
You should contact Meta. There was an update to WhatsApp issued 3 days ago to version 26.4.73 and it would not be unusual with Automatic App Updates turned on to have it updated on your device yesterday. That would not be the first time a Meta update had introduced a bug that needed to be resolved by another update. There have actually been 8 updates to WhatsApp in just the last month.
All you can do on your device is the steps you have already performed. You could check your storage space at Settings > General > iPhone Storage to make sure it is not running out, but I doubt that is the problem and it will likely be something that Meta needs to resolve.
