If you’re having trouble using WhatsApp on your computer, it may be because of a lack of internet connection. To test your internet connection, try loading a few online sites or doing a short speed test on your computer. If the internet appears to be working properly, continue with the solutions below.

Allow WhatsApp to Run in the background

WhatsApp will not deliver alerts or sync your messages until you launch the app if it does not have the permissions required to function in the background. You must allow WhatsApp to operate in the background in order to prevent this. Here’s how to make it happen. ..

The Settings app is a key part of the Windows operating system and can be accessed by opening the Start menu and clicking the gear-shaped icon. Alternatively, you can also press the Windows key + I to achieve the same.

In the Apps tab, you’ll find a list of installed apps. Click on an app to install it.

Scroll down to locate WhatsApp on the list. Click the three–dot menu icon next to it and select " WhatsApp." Advanced options from the following menu will appear:

  • “Privacy” will allow you to control how your data is used. You can choose to share your contact list with others, or keep all contact data private.
  • “Data Usage” will show you how much data WhatsApp is using each month. You can choose to limit how much data you use, or turn off all communication for a specific month.

If you want to use the app under background permissions, select Always from the drop-down menu.

Check App Permissions

WhatsApp is a messaging app that requires a few permissions to function properly. For instance, you may not be able to make calls or leave voicemails if you have previously prohibited WhatsApp from using your PC’s camera or microphone. What you can do to repair it is as follows: -Open WhatsApp on your computer and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the app. -Select Settings and then Privacy. -Under Camera and Microphone, uncheck the boxes next to Allow WhatsApp to use these features and Save Changes. ..

Right-click on the Start icon and select All Programs from the menu that appears.

In the Advanced options menu, select WhatsApp from the list and click on the three-dot menu icon next to it.

To enable all the permissions for an app, toggle its permissions under App permissions. ..

Sign out and Sign in

WhatsApp is having trouble logging you out for some users, and reverting back in may fix the problem. ..

Tap the three-dot menu icon at the top and select Log out.

Click Log Out to confirm your account.

Now, on your iPhone or Android, open WhatsApp and select the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner and select Linked devices from the menu that opens.

After scanning the QR code, you will be taken to a web page that will ask you to input your phone’s camera information. You will then be able to link your phone to your PC and access the files on your computer.

Repair or Reset the app

To search for WhatsApp in the App settings menu:

  1. Open the App settings menu by pressing Windows key + S.
