Joining Whatsapp from my new work phone - Downloaded the Whatsapp app version 24.11.85 for ios 17.5.1 iPhone SE Model MHGQ3B/A

When I attempt to register my phone number I am unable to click NEXT at the point you send your phone number to be registered

The text overlays onto the Next button and so it just responds to a URL link in the text and launches my browser. I does not respond to the button.

To check this I tried interacting with the screen with accessibility mode on to identify what actions I can take on the screen and the Next button is not identified as clickable everything else is.

The last update was to the UI - so makes me think somehow the UI got messed up and the button no longer links to actually doing something . Am I correct that it's a bug and how can I contact someone to fix this?

For various reasons I need it to work tonight - so any thoughts of a work around in the meantime ?

Have tried deleting and reinstalling app and restarting phone. Have tried interacting with screen using voice commands.

(That isn't my actual phone number - just a random dummy number and yes I know the leading 0 should not be in there that is not the issue though)
