This is a common issue by Brave team and has not been addressed officially so far. Different methods are working for different people. I have found a simple method that worked for me.
Disable Brave shield for Whatsapp
Visit brave://settings/content/all and clear data for Whatsapp

Restart your browser and try logging in to Whatsapp.
Hope this fixes your problem. Next time you log in and face the same problem, just try enable-disable once the Brave shield for Whatsapp.
Thank…

Hey guys, im not sure why this happens, but every time you relaunch brave, disabling or enabling hardware acceleration, it loads correctly, no matter which one you do. And when you reload the page it does not anymore, you just need to relaunch brave again with the hardware acceleration on the opposite. Hope this helps the devs.
Update: After enabling the hardware aceleration, now seems to work ok.

What worked for me is setting “Trackers & ad-blocking”, “Block fingerprint”, and “Block cookies” all to disabled, then enabling them back once logged in.

I did not reset all my settings, but created a new user and started brave for the first time. This browser window did not have any problem linking whatsapp.
Ubuntu Unity 22.04, Brave [Version 1.40.113 Chromium: 103.0.5060.114 (Official Build) unknown (64-bit)]
So it must be a setting or an extension.
Then I disabled all my extensions, and my main brave browser started to wok.
This is what worked for me alltogether:
Disabled secure dns
Turned off shield for web.whatsapp.com
Disabled all ex…

Works for Aster
I got it to work after clearing data and resetting permissions for WhatsApp

After doing that you have to link Brave with Whatsapp again.
What I noticed is that if I update Whatsapp it stops working (only on Brave, on Chrome it works perfectly fine after updating)

This issue only happens only on Brave since users can use the Brave web version with other browsers such as Google Chrome. While the issue hasn’t been addressed officially but there are a few possible ways to try the text messaging feature on Brave once more. I use and fixed with these steps .

I have tried all these methods but in vain. Whatsapp suddenly started working just and currently the chances of opening Whatsapp web is 9/10; yes sometimes the problem arises. I hope developers will fix this issue. Also, I only use brave browser.

Nightly version works for me…
It definitely doesn’t work. Two browsers use too much resources. I found this, It seems a decent linux client:

UPDATE: It’s been 16 days and the problem is still here. In the meantime, I have probably received two updates from brave. Please fix this issue.

WhatsApp Web was working fine for me but asked me to update yesterday and it has since stopped working. I’ve cleared all cookies/local storage but each time I try to link device from the app, the browser spins for a bit and then tells me I’m not connected to the Internet, which I am. Brave doesn’t indicate that it’s blocking any resources and there are no other blockers enabled.

I found a solution. For me it was only working on Chrome and on a window with tor.
When it was not working on a normal window, my laptop was connected with an ethernet cable and my phone was on the wifi of the same router.
I turned off wifi on my phone and connect my laptap via wireless.
It worked. Connected to whatsapp web with no problems.

Resetting worked for me! I hope the issue doesn’t repeat since it would be a hassle to be doing this frequently.

I found help on this page;. Thanks for everybody’s posts.
I am on Arch Linux. Disabling all extensions worked for me (I only had Ghostery installed). Enabling the extension after logging into WhatsApp worked fine.

All of those methods simply don’t work. I mean resetting permissions, disabling all extensions, clearing data, etc.
