Is the WhatsApp not working properly on your iPhone? WhatsApp has become entwined with our daily lives so much, we can’t even imagine a minute without a properly working WhatsApp. If the WhatsApp is giving you troubles, you should leave everything else and focus on solving the issue as soon as possible.
Why the WhatsApp is not working on my iPhone?
WhatsApp is a service that you can use via web app or mobile app. So, just like other social media web services (Facebook, Instagram, X), it is dependent on the servers as well. If there is an area wide outage, WhatsApp may cease to function properly. Apart from this obvious reason, lack of proper permission can be why Whatsapp is behaving like this.
Just apply these solutions to fix this WhatsApp issue on your own.
Fix 1 – Check the WhatsApp server status
There is the possibility of a server outage has caused this problem.
Step 1 – Start by loading up the Google Chrome or a browser of your choice.
Step 2 – Next, search for “WhatsApp down” using the search box.
Step 3 – Later, tap to open up the website to track the WhatsApp server status.
Step 4 – If the page reads like – “Users are reporting issues” or the same sort of statement, you can understand that there are some issues with the WhatsApp server in your region.
In that case, you have to just wait for the restoration of the WhatsApp services. Meanwhile, you can check the availability with a thirty minutes interval.
Fix 2 – Check the WhatsApp permission
The lack of the WhatsApp permissions can lead to this issue.
Step 1 – Search for the Settings icon and open it up.

If you are too low on storage, WhatsApp may stop functioning properly.
