WhatsApp On Samsung S25 FE Stuck On “Connecting” Screen For Over A Day

On my Samsung S25 FE, for the past day I have been unable to log into WhatsApp. The app is permanently stuck on the “Connecting” screen and I cannot access my account. I’m not seeing any error messages—just that screen. Other apps work fine and I have no general internet connectivity issues.

To try to fix it, I have uninstalled and reinstalled WhatsApp multiple times, restarted my phone, and checked that the app is up to date. I also contacted WhatsApp customer service, but all I received were automated replies and suggestions which did not resolve the problem.
