As users are reporting on Twitter, WhatsApp has simply stopped working on iPhones. 9to5Mac was able to confirm the bug as WhatsApp sometimes freezes after you tap the app icon, making it impossible to access your chat list or send messages to others.
There have been no recent WhatsApp updates released on the App Store, and even the beta version of WhatsApp available through TestFlight is crashing for no reason. This suggests that the bug may be due to a problem with Facebook's servers and not a glitch in the iOS app.
