Problem while Messaging
One of the primary reasons behind this is a weak internet connection. Besides this, if your number is blocked by opposition then it is not possible to send or receive messages, it might be possible that you haven’t completed the initial verification process and the last one is checking the WhatsApp number.

Whatsapp keeps Crashing after iOS 17 update
Whatsapp keeps crashing after updating iPhone to iOS 17 is the most common issue among iPhone users. Rather than crashing some of them have reported that Whatsapp won’t send messages, Whatsapp paused or down, Whatsapp won’t open, and much more.
This entire situation is very annoying but not much complicated that we cannot solve them. Have a look.
Solution #1: Force close the Whatsapp App
The prior fix to troubleshoot any app is to force quit apps on iPhone. Most of the time it works so let’s give it a try.
Step 1: swipe up your finger from the bottom bar, to open the app switcher and force close WhatsApp app card by swiping up. Or for physical home button iPhone users – Double click the home button and swipe up the window of that app.
Problem is still persists then Hard Reboot your iPhone. (Hard Reboot is also helpful in your WhatsApp Message Disapeered or Delete automatically, Saved Contacts not showing – Only Numbers are showing for all WhatsApp chat).
- Quickly Press and Release the Volume Up Button.
- Quickly Press and Release the Volume Down Button.
- Now, Only Press and Hold on to the Sleep/Lock Button on the right side of your iPhone until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
Solution #2: A good internet connection is Required
As I mentioned before a good internet connection is necessary for the smooth working of WhatsApp. If you have Wi-Fi, then disconnect the iPhone and again connect to the network, or you can reset the Wi-Fi router. But if you are using the carrier’s data plan, then the only thing you can do is reset network settings.
- Launch the “Settings” App on your iOS device.
- “General”.
- Scroll down the screen to tap on Transfer and reset iPhone.
- Tap on “Reset”
- click on “Reset Network Settings”.
- Now, follow the on-screen instructions to terminate the process.
After a few minutes, open WhatsApp and check the issue is gone or not.
Solution #3: Update your Whatsapp Version
In most cases, updating the outdated app is helpful, and some of the relevant bugs get fixed because of updating the app. Go to App Store and update the app.
Solution #4: Uninstall and Reinstall the Whatsapp Messenger iOS app
This can help if your Whatsapp crashes, Whatsapp won’t open, or Whatsapp got frozen. You need to delete the app from your iPhone and again install it from App Store.
- Tap and hold on the Whatsapp icon.
- Tap Remove App
- Select Delete App
- Tap Delete to confirm. That’s it.
- Now Restart your iPhone and Re-install Whatsapp on your Whatsapp App Store.
This trick is also useful whenever iOS Whatsapp notifications not working.
Solution #5: Erase all contents and Settings/Restore iPhone
This action will result in complete data loss, so before performing a Reset you must take backup.
- Go to Settings
- Open “General”.
- Scroll and open “Transfer or Reset iPhone.”
- Tap on “Erase all Contents and Settings.”
By entering your passcode, the process will be completed and your iPhone will be restored to its factory settings.
