With my new Z Fold 4, most of whatsapp notification (most but not all), are not notified in time, and pop up only after I open the app. Have any of you experienced a similar issue? I've tried all the usuall suspects - update software, re-install app, setting reset - but to no avail. Any idea?

@eitan99: Please can you try heading to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Notifications > Show notifications (toggle this on) > Allow sound and vibration (On) > In-app notification settings > Messages > Use hight priority notifications (On) > Groups > Use high priority notifications (On). 

Tap the Back button > Notification categories, and run through the categories, making sure to set 'Alert' and 'Show as pop-up' along with your notification preferences. Let me know if this helps.

@AndrewL Thank you. However, all was already set as you suggested. I've made some tests. It looks like it work right when the phone is open (though I'm not sure it is 100% of the times), or soon (60seconds? ) after I closed it. But after a while the phone stops notify immediatly, only after I re-open it (and I think sometimes does not notify until I actually open the whatsapp app).

Please note - as suggested in some sites I closed all watchWeb connections, battery mode is not power saver, regular sms notifications works OK

@eitan99: If you head to Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > Background usage limits, is WhatsApp currently listed in the Sleeping or Deep Sleeping Apps categories?

@AndrewL No, WhatsApp is not listed there. I've even tried to put it in the Never Sleeping list - but to no avail.

A similar issue with my fold 4. I don't get notifications when I get a WhatsApp message. So strange. All other apps work with notifications. Any solution on this

@Arj007 I really do not know how, but in my case the problem was not consistent, and in the last few days it might have been disapered.  I recommend checking the settings as @AndrewL suggsted ... and please share if you found a stable solution.

I was also facing the same issue, actually you may be using beta version, so better leave the beta program and install it, it will work
