whatsapp not loading - iphone
Discussion
i appreciate this isn't tech support but was wondering if anyone can help before i go join another forum etc.
iphone 16 pro, ios 18.7.1, no updates outstanding.
whatsapp won't open. it is working on my laptop, and i am getting alerts on my phone, but the app itself will not open. it is hanging and then crashing on this screen

this has only been a problem since this morning.
yesterday i had a whatsapp call from an iranian number which i answered as i thought it was one of my contractors. the call hung up on answering and i thought nothing of it, only now wondering if this might be a factor or simply coincidence.
anyway i force closed and reopened the app, same issue. i then offloaded it and reinstalled, same issue.
i then updated ios [security updates, to version above], rebooted, offloaded and reinstalled again, same issue.
wondering what to do next? google is only advising the same things i've done already.
