    @librarianbe @WhatsApp Same I can’t backup chats either and customer support is no help, so I guess we just have to wait to see if WhatsApp will come with an update soon or see if iOS is the problem.

  • Smitty217 Doug Smith (@Smitty217) reported

    @CiaraODonoghu19 @WhatsApp I’ve read elsewhere that it only seems to be an issue if the phone is on charge. I’ve left mine off the charger over night lately and have had no problems.

  • BaluKbs1 Balu Kbs (@BaluKbs1) reported

    Hello @WhatsApp , I'm Android 12 user. For past 6 months I'm facing no pop up notification issue. I don't know why did you made this. I request, It's better to remove "Pop up notification no longer available" to make benefit to us.

  • CiaraODonoghu19 Ciara O’Donoghue (@CiaraODonoghu19) reported

    @stax97 @WhatsApp Thanks, that hasn’t made a difference for me, it won’t create the back up or let me use the chat search function. Seems to be an iOS issue rather than directly what’s app, but their support is useless.

  • vishalsehijpal VISHAL (@vishalsehijpal) reported

    @oneplus @OnePlus_IN Can you help me transfer Whatsapp data from iOS to One Plus Nord? @WhatsApp

  • librarianbe Patrick Vanhoucke (@librarianbe) reported

    @Dellie90917500 @WhatsApp The strange thing is that the ‘normal’ version of WhatsApp (not the Business version, I mean) does not have this problem. Since the latest update of the Business version was two weeks ago and the problem occurred around that time, the cause must be the app, I guess.

  • ishivam_mishra Shivam Mishra (@ishivam_mishra) reported

    @WhatsApp Hi whatsapp team I am a regular whatsapp user I like whatsapp but suddenly my account is banned please review my account again And fix it as soon a possible . Thanks @whatsappbiz #Whatsappmeforgoodservice

  • Dellie90917500 Dellie (@Dellie90917500) reported

    @librarianbe @WhatsApp Maybe it’s just me then I have no idea if it’s only on the business version or also the normal version, but WhatsApp needs to fix asap cause they just trying to run away from their problems and ignoring everybody with similar issues.

  • Geoffre15978781 Geoffrey (@Geoffre15978781) reported

    @DebHerbage @Meta @WhatsApp My account also got a permanent ban and support did nothing to help , not until I reached out to hughes_tech on Instagram helped me recover back my account . I confidently recommend his service and I can vouch for him.

  • MikeRuddick Mike Ruddick (@MikeRuddick) reported

    @mgordonwalker @WhatsApp Mine could have been as well. Only noticed that it hadn’t updated a week ago. I’ve tried everything to get it to update and it sticks at the preparing update stage. Too many people complaining about the exact same thing for it not to be a widespread problem. Not everyone though
