Not sure why you would assume this is a hardware issue when it works fine on Instagram and YouTube. Clearly this is an issue with WhatsApp.


You will need to contact Meta for help with their software, this is not an Apple product.


Here are a couple of ways to contact them -

Hi, there was no 27.0.1 beta. What is the exact iOS version your iPhone is using?

To start, suggest that you get rid of beta (which might not be simple or easy) and go with the supported iOS. Then you will have a real baseline.

iOS 27.0.1
