WhatsApp incoming call - screens remains off on Samsung A50

[Rj_Sunny]

When my phone is locked and screen is off and I receive a call on WhatsApp, it rings but the screen remains off. How can I make WhatsApp turn on the screen to show the incoming call screen ?

Phone: Samsung GalaxyA50 - SM-A505F/DS
Android: 9
WhatsApp Version 2.19.69

Always On Display is enabled. Disabling it makes no difference.
I have tested the behaviour with Skype, Facebook - these apps DO turn screen on for incoming call.

Just got a s50 and had sane issue as you but solved it by going into apps. WhatsApp and then adding in all the permissions such as video and calls etc and then worked ok
