iPhone WhatsApp not sending messages, receiving/web ok
Hi everyone, I need help with a very strange WhatsApp issue.
For the past few days, I have been unable to send any messages from the WhatsApp app on my iPhone. Every text message, photo, sticker, or attachment stays stuck with the exclamation red mark icon and is never sent.
The strange part is that:
- I can receive messages normally;
- WhatsApp voice calls and video calls work correctly;
- WhatsApp Web/Desktop works and I can send messages from there;
- The same WhatsApp account works correctly on an Android phone (messages send normally).
I have already tried:
- restarting the iPhone;
- enabling/disabling Airplane Mode;
- switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data;
- completely reinstalling WhatsApp;
- testing on a second iPhone (same issue);
- updating to the latest iOS and WhatsApp versions.
The problem seems to affect only WhatsApp on iOS with my account.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this be related to an iOS-specific account synchronization issue, encryption keys/session problems, or a bug after an Android-to-iPhone transfer?
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
