S24 Ultra doesn't wake up the screen when getting a whatsapp text

[renancuteco]

I recently migrated from Xiaomi to Samsung. I've had a few problems, but none of them were as big as this one: My phone's screen doesn't turn on when I receive a WhatsApp message.

Since I depend on these messages for a lot of things and my phone is always on silent, if there's no way to turn on the screen when I receive a WhatsApp message, I'll have to abandon my phone.

I've tried activating Always On Display, but I end up only having a tiny icon when a notification arrives. I need the detailed pop-up, just like it appears on iPhones and all other phones.

Can someone help me? Thanks

That sounds frustrating! Have you tried going to Settings > Notifications > Advanced settings and enabling "Brief pop-up settings"? Also, in WhatsApp settings, check Notifications > Pop-up notification and set it to "Always show". Hope this helps!

The only way is to have this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.nullgrad.glimpse as Samsung shockingly doesn't have an option to turn on screen upon notifications which is funny !
Once you install this app dig in the settings it's there

To get whatsapp to ring and show on a locked screen go to 1.Settings
2. Notifications
3.Notifications pop up style
4. Apps to show as brief
5.Switch off whatsapp

the way samsung handles notifications sucks it should wake the ***** screen as all other phones does.  I will never buy a shitsung phone again

I comepletely agree, I dont understand why it cant show like pixel as pixel is more consistant in notifications appearing and lighting screen. anyhow android is messed up, does not do basic things right.

Is not android the culprit is 

Samsung's software is flooded with bugs and inconsistencies.  F**k Samsung
