In March 2022, WhatsApp released the WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.7.0.76 update by bringing the support for iOS 15, after 6 months from the first release of iOS 15. Today, a new WhatsApp beta update is available on the TestFlight app and it is compiled by using the iOS 16 SDK: it is unexpected since we needed to wait for 6 months to get a compatible build with iOS 15. Since this is the first version built by using the iOS 16 SDK, you may experience some little bugs and glitches.
