Latest known WhatsApp problems on Asus Zenfone 8
1
Why does WhatsApp look different or zoomed in on my Asus Zenfone 8?
WhatsApp can default to a stretched or tablet-style layout when the system display scaling is set large. Open Settings > Display > Display size and text and drag the Display size slider down a notch (and check the Font size slider), then reopen WhatsApp to restore the normal phone layout. If it still looks off, clear the app's cache under Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Storage and relaunch it. See how others solved this on Reddit

My Asus Zenfone 8 camera stopped working and shows a black screen or error
First force-stop the camera via Settings > Apps > Camera > Force stop, then clear its cache and storage from the same Storage menu and reopen it. If the camera only fails inside third-party apps like WhatsApp, revoke and re-grant the Camera permission under Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Permissions > Camera. Finally make sure you are on the latest firmware via Settings > System > System updates, since several Zenfone camera bugs were fixed in updates. See how others solved this on Reddit

Selfies look terrible in WhatsApp and Instagram on my Zenfone 8 but fine in the stock camera
Third-party apps often use a lower-quality camera path instead of the full sensor, so in-app selfies and video-call frames look soft and noisy while the stock Camera app looks fine. There is no reliable in-app fix, so for important shots take the photo in the stock Camera app and attach it from your gallery instead of using the in-app camera. Also confirm the app has Camera permission under Settings > Apps > [app] > Permissions so it is not falling back to an even more degraded mode. See how others solved this on Reddit

The other person can't hear me, or I can't hear them, during calls on my Zenfone 8
This is usually a permission, software, or blockage issue rather than dead hardware. Confirm the Phone app has Microphone access under Settings > Apps > Phone > Permissions, then reboot the device to clear any audio-routing glitch, and check that no screen protector or case is covering the earpiece or mic openings. If it persists, clear the Phone app's cache under Settings > Apps > Phone > Storage, and boot into Safe Mode to see whether a third-party app (such as a recorder or VoIP app) is holding the microphone.

My Asus Zenfone 8 is bricked and won't boot past the logo, what can I do?
First try a forced restart by holding Power and Volume Down together until the screen goes black and the phone restarts. If it still hangs, boot into recovery by holding Power and Volume Up, then choose Wipe cache partition and reboot. If it remains stuck, use Asus's official firmware and flashing tool for your exact model number to reflash the system, which recovers most soft-bricks; note that a clean flash erases your data.

How to install WhatsApp on Asus Zenfone 8
1
Choose how to download
On your Asus Zenfone 8 you can get the official app two ways: from the Google Play Store — the easiest option, since it keeps WhatsApp updated automatically — or directly from the official website. You can download an APK file, by clicking a link “Download WhatsApp directly”.
2
Open WhatsApp
Launch WhatsApp from your home screen or app drawer and accept the Terms of Service to start setup.
3
Verify your phone number
Enter your phone number. If your Asus Zenfone 8 uses dual SIM, pick the line you want WhatsApp tied to, then enter the 6-digit code it sends by SMS — it usually fills in automatically.
4
Restore chats and finish setup
Restore your chat history from Google Drive (use the same Google account), add your name and photo, and tap Allow for notifications so messages and calls arrive reliably.
Stay safe: only ever install WhatsApp from the official Android source. The Download button above already points there — modified copies (GB/Plus/Aero WhatsApp) can get your number banned.

AppWhatsOfficialMay 8, 2026
If you made a backup before, sign in with the same number and tap Restore when asked. WhatsApp pulls your chats from the cloud backup. Happy chatting!

pls help does it work on older android versions ?
AppWhatsOfficialMar 22, 2025
Hi! It depends. WhatsApp drops support for very old systems over time. If the store still offers you the app, your phone is supported. Let us know if you need anything else.
