Whatspp not working after restore from itunes backup

Hi ,


I have recently switched from my iphone 5 to iphone 6 and have restored the backup taken on iphone 5 onto iphone 6 . All the rest of the app and mail application are working except whatsapp app , which is showing network status as connecting . The same app on iphone 5 through wifi is working perfectly fine .


Kindly request you to resolve the issue .

iPhone 6, iOS 8.3

Make sure there are no app updates pending in the App Store. The Whatsapp app got updated recently and the change log did state better iOS 8.3 compatibility.


Maybe you're running an older version that's crashing.


I upgraded from an iPhone 5 to a 6+ back in March. First I updated everything on the 5, then did a full backup on my Mac. The i6+ comes and I did a Restore from the 5's backup. Whatsapp worked just fine from the get-go.
