What Causes WhatsApp Connection Issues?
Here are some of the reasons why WhatsApp is not working are:
- Old versions of WhatsApp that are not updated;
- Memory cache issues;
- Corrupt data files;
- Operating system (Android, iOS) issues.
The above issues can generally be fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of WhatsApp on your smartphone. However, if you are not able to send or receive messages in real time, then it’s definitely a connection issue.
The reason you may only experience some of these problems has to do with the way your mobile phone connects to the Internet and how WhatsApp itself was designed.

Still having issues? Follow the troubleshooting guide below.
- Make sure WhatsApp is closed and not running in the background;
- Restart or put your phone into airplane mode for 30 seconds and then reconnect;

If this still doesn’t solve your problem:
