There could be several reasons why quick replies are not being saved on WhatsApp for Business on iOS 16.3.1. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

1.Check if you have the latest version of WhatsApp for Business installed on your device. If not, update it from the App Store.

2.Make sure that you have enabled the Quick Replies feature in the Business Settings of your WhatsApp account. To do this, go to Settings > Business Settings > Quick Replies and toggle the switch to ON.

3.Ensure that you have granted WhatsApp permission to access your device's microphone and camera. Quick Replies require access to these features to work properly.

4.Try clearing the cache of WhatsApp. Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage, find WhatsApp in the list of apps, and tap on it. Then, tap "Offload App" or "Delete App" to remove it from your device. After that, reinstall WhatsApp and try setting up Quick Replies again.

5.If none of the above solutions work, contact WhatsApp support for further assistance. They may be able to help you resolve the issue or provide additional troubleshooting steps. https://socialseam.org/

I’ve tried all of these too - no change

iphone 13 Pro WhatsApp Business I created one quick reply a few weeks ago (which is still there and working), now when I create one it is momentarily ‘saved’, but immediately disappears when I exit that section of the app. I’ve tried every which way, every style and formate of Quick Reply, and every way of leaving that area of the app (to ensure I’m not accidentally cancelling the Reply). Nothing works!

I’m having the same issue. iOS updated and last version of WhatsApp. Solutions didn’t work and I’m waiting for WhatsApp to reply. Anything else to be done?

I’m also having the same problem with WhatsApp Business on my iPhone SE 3. I suspect this requires an update from WhatsApp. Tried to get help from them(WhatsApp) but was unsuccessful!

I also have this problem. I have iphone 11 with updated iOS 16.3.1 and latest version of Whatsap. But WhatsApp support offered no solution except to update my IOS and app. Very disappointed in their response! This is also making my business extra difficult and time consuming to operate.

Same here, I am using an iphone 12 with ios 16.0 and the latest version of WA Business. I can create the quick reply, hit save and I see it added to the list of quick replies, but when I go back to the chats it is not available. Go back to the list of quick replies and it is gone. I have tried ten times to create replies and the same happens. Tried reinstalling whatsapp and it keeps happening. Please help!! This is a huge deal for our business, we need them working!

Hi, same problem. I run on 16.3.1 on iPhone 13 Pro max. I had this problem since 2 weeks ago. Tried everything as well as to restore iPhone and WhatsApp. And doesn’t work. I tried hard 3 times to get help both from Apple and WhatsApp but didn’t get any help. Is a huge problem for who uses WhatsApp WA as a business tool. I’m spending a lot of time to copy and paste the same messages. But what is still make me angry is WhatsApp team completely ignore me. Until I found this forum, I thought I was the only person on planet having this problem. I searched on spanish browsers and it seems nobody except me does have the same issue .
