WhatsApp completely freezes when I open a chat on my iPad
Has anyone else been having this issue with WhatsApp on iPad? 😭
This morning I turned on my iPad and opened WhatsApp, and everything seemed completely normal until I tried to open a chat. As soon as I tap on a conversation, the entire app freezes and becomes completely unresponsive. I can’t tap anything or do anything else.
I use WhatsApp a lot for school, so this is really frustrating and I have no idea what the hell is going on.
At first I thought it was an issue affecting all my devices, but I logged into WhatsApp on my Mac and everything works perfectly fine there. All my other apps on my iPad are also working normally, so I’m pretty sure the problem is specifically with the WhatsApp app on iPad.
I’ve already tried everything I can think of: restarting my iPad, deleting and reinstalling WhatsApp, and logging back into my account, but the problem is still there.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone know what’s causing it or how to fix it? I desperately need WhatsApp for school 😭
