Can someone help?

When someone calls me on WhatsApp, the prompt (WhatsApp call screen) doesn't appear, and I have to unlock the phone and answer the call from the notification drop down?

Why is this?

It's probably best to contact Samsung via live chat as they will most definitely give you relevant troubleshooting tips for your S10e. 🙂

There could be a few reasons why you're not seeing the WhatsApp call screen:

1. Notification Settings:

Check WhatsApp Notification Permissions: Ensure that WhatsApp has permission to display notifications, including calls.

Go to your phone's Settings -> Apps -> WhatsApp -> Notifications.  

Make sure all notifications are enabled, especially for calls.

Priority Notifications: Some phones have a priority notification setting. Ensure WhatsApp is set as a priority.

Do Not Disturb Mode: Check if your phone is in Do Not Disturb mode, which might suppress call notification

2. App-Related Issues

App Updates: Make sure WhatsApp is updated to the latest version.  

App Permissions: Verify that WhatsApp has all necessary permissions.

Clear App Cache: Clearing the WhatsApp cache might resolve temporary glitches.

Go to Settings -> Apps -> WhatsApp -> Storage -> Clear Cache.

3. Phone-Specific Issues:

Battery Optimization: Check if WhatsApp is optimized for battery. This might affect notifications.

Go to Settings -> Battery -> App Power Management and find WhatsApp.

Overlapping Apps: If you have any apps that might interfere with notifications (e.g., call blockers), try disabling them temporarily.

4. Other Factors:

Weak Network Connection: A poor network signal can sometimes prevent call screens from appearing.

Phone Hardware Issues: In rare cases, a hardware problem with your phone's notification system could be the culprit.

 

If you've tried these steps and the issue persists, you might want to:

  • Restart your phone.
  • Check for any recent OS updates.
  • Contact WhatsApp support for further assistance.

Would you like to provide more details about your phone model and operating system? This could help narrow down the potential causes.

I've tried all. Only Step- 5 worked for a few days for me. Right now, the problem continues without any solutions!
