I just installed macOS 15.1 and I confirm that the WhatsApp application does not start.
HOWEVER
the WEB APP "WhatsApp WEB", which I created with Safari,
WORKS fine.
NOTA: if "WhatsApp WEB", when you restart it newly, asks you to synchronise with
WhatsApp on the iPhone, do not use the QRCode, but use the phone and the code that asks you to enter; so,
WhatsApp WEB will no longer ask you to synchronize.
After that the WEB App of
WhatsApp WEB will always restart quickly, as its application, which, instead, freezes.
[Note: even if after creating the WEB Apps you remove them from the Dock, they remain in $Your_User_HOME/Applications/]
Below I attach the report of WhatsApp's blocked Thread.
