driver.findElement(MobileBy.AccessibilityId("WhatsApp")) Should work.

I was trying on UIAUTOMATORVIEWER, so what are the settings to be made to see resource-id or any other tool which is similar to the same… kindly suggest

UIAUTOMATORVIEWER can’t display id unless the element has/assigned an id. You have to use either Android uiautomation or xPath (Always opt for relative xpath).
