Arabic Font iOS 11
Ever since I switched to an iOS device from Android, I have noticed that the Arabic font looks like this: 
This font is very different from the classic Arabic font and is very annoying to read. I have noticed this not only on WhatsApp but on other websites also. Is this a setting in iOS or is this a problem specific to WhatsApp? Is there any way to fix this?
If you are seeing this:
Go to settings/general/language and double check that Arabic is higher than Urdu on the list.
