Hello karlie38,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities! We understand that you're not receiving WhatsApp notifications after updating your iPhone to iOS 15.1. We'd be happy to help point you towards a resolution.


Let's start by checking your Notification settings for WhatsApp on the iPhone to ensure they are not muted or turned off. If you have Do Not Disturb or Focus enabled, you'll want to turn that feature off temporarily to see if you receive WhatsApp notifications with it off:



After that, we'll want to also ensure that Notifications have been enabled in the WhatsApp app itself:

Keep us posted with what you find.


Cheers!

Hi karlie38,


Thanks for getting back to us. If the issue is occurring only with WhatsApp specifically, and notifications for other apps work, that can indicate this is an issue with the app itself that the app developer may need to resolve.


Try the 4 steps listed in the following support article next and if there's still no change, you'll want to reach back out to WhatsApp:


If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open - Apple Support


Take care.
