open the WhatsApp service on the network

What do you mean by "open the WhatsApp service on the network" ?

Your network ?
Dio you run a WhatsApp service ?
I don't know what "Mikrotik " is.

What I make out your question :
You want to block all users as you are using a captive portal.
Only those with credentials can access the Internet.
You want all users, also those without a logion, to access WhatsApp ?
Then you need to "white list" the IP's WhatsApp uses => you have to figure out this list, or ask Facebook ;)
The whitelisting is done by adding all the IP's the WhatsApp application is using.

But add all these IP
There is nothing else to open the WhatsApp service on the network
In Mikrotik to open a specific service on the network before logging in, it is easy|-left aligned paragraph=|

Fill this page Services > Captive Portal > ZONE > Allowed IP Addresses with all the IP addresses or networks WhatsApp talks to.
These are probably a subset all known "Facebook IP's", but not limited to only facebook IP's.

See this thread How to block AS numbers?? how to obtain a list will all facebook IPs and networks
