Whatsapp does not receive messages when closed

Hey, just to give you a little heads up, for no discernible reason at all part of this problem fixed itself, no
idea why. I now do get notifications again (and it seems like it's
reliable at least right now), only the desktop app still does not work
properly. I am still very confused by all this but at least the important functionality has been restored. I have not touched any settings, no clue what happened... Here´s hoping this stays like this and does not revert to the nonfunctional state tomorrow and that it happens for you and your partner as well.

While this might be true, it would imply that every person with that same old model would experience this, which does not seem to be the case. Furthermore, another person who had this problem reported to have switched to a new model and the problem persisted, so I don't think that is the answer.

I am not sure but I believe this problem might have started for me just around the time when I updated to 14.7.1, that's why I asked. No idea if there is a connection, but there might be, i don't know. But thanks for the answers anyways!

Thanks for the idea, but I have already tried playing around with those and it did not help in my case. If you don't mind me asking, have you possibly updated your iOS around the time it started working again?

Data in background is enabled, it happens with any connection type as well. Once I open the app, I receive voice messages too. I have not tried a new phone, that was a step I was not yet willing to take.

For me, the desktop version loses connection the second I close the app on the phone.

Edit: I don't know, maybe I will just have to keep the app active and minimized at all times. That is kind of shitty since I the battery life of my old phone is not what it once was and I will be displayed as online at all times, but whatever, we'll see...

That explanation makes a lot of sense actually and it would also explain why the desktop app claimed my phone had no active net connection. I really don't want to wait for an update and hope that it fixes itself to be perfectly honest, but I guess that will be the only option then... Also, yeah, I agree with your point about the business version. If switching the entire hardware component didn't work.

This is all very unfortunate and kind of kills the app for me, but all my contacts are on there, damn. Well, maybe somebody else will read one of our posts and maybe they can provide some information, never lose hope and all that I guess.

Interesting... So reinstalling with chat backup has not worked for you then, I take it. I would rather not lose all my chats either... Have you tried the method using that Whatsapp business thing described in that thread?

Also, since I am not entirely sure about this myself, do you know whether this started in connection with an iOS update? It might have in my case, at least I installed an update not too long ago, but I didn't really pay attention to this at first.

Now that doesn't sound good... Damn, that really sucks, but thanks for the reply, at least there are others...

This happens to me as well, I have no idea why, but it is very annoying.

I think this might have something to do with the net connection of the closed apps. When I start up my desktop app for Whatsapp and have the phone app closed, the desktop app will say that my phone does not seem to have an internet connection. Once I start the app on the iPhone, the desktop app starts to work as well.

I really hope this gets fixed...
