Latest known WhatsApp problems on Samsung Galaxy A55
1
WhatsApp notifications are useless or arrive late on my Galaxy A55 - how do I fix them?
One UI's aggressive battery management is the usual cause: go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Battery and set it to Unrestricted, then open Settings > Battery > Background usage limits and add WhatsApp to the Never sleeping apps list (and make sure it is not under Sleeping/Deep sleeping apps). Also check Settings > Notifications > App notifications > WhatsApp is fully enabled with all message categories switched on, and inside WhatsApp under Settings > Notifications confirm High priority notifications is active.

WhatsApp pop-up (heads-up) notifications aren't showing on my Galaxy A55 - they only appear in the shade
Go to Settings > Notifications > App notifications > WhatsApp, open the Messages category, and turn on the Pop-up style so banners float over your screen. Also set Settings > Notifications > Notification pop-up style to Detailed rather than Brief. Finally confirm WhatsApp is set to Unrestricted battery and is in the Never sleeping apps list so One UI doesn't suppress its alerts. See how others solved this on Reddit

My WhatsApp photos and videos disappeared overnight on my Galaxy A55 - where did they go?
This usually means the media is no longer showing in Gallery rather than being deleted - open the Files app and check Internal storage > Android > media > com.whatsapp > WhatsApp > Media, where the Images and Video folders should still hold your files. If they're missing there, restore from your last Google Drive backup via WhatsApp > Settings > Chats > Chat backup. Going forward, enable WhatsApp > Settings > Chats > Media visibility so downloaded media stays visible in Samsung Gallery. See how others solved this on Reddit

The screen doesn't turn off during WhatsApp calls on my Galaxy A55 - is the proximity sensor broken?
First test the sensor by dialing *#0*# to open the diagnostic menu, then check the Sensor test and confirm Proximity responds when you cover the top of the screen; a screen protector overlapping the earpiece area can block it. If the hardware reads fine, force-stop WhatsApp under Settings > Apps > WhatsApp, clear its cache under Storage, and reboot - a stuck sensor state during calls is usually cleared this way rather than indicating a faulty A55.

5
My WhatsApp chat wallpaper looks glitched or distorted on my Galaxy A55 - how do I fix it?
Reset it by opening WhatsApp > Settings > Chats > Wallpaper, pick the plain Bright or Dark option with no image first to confirm the glitch clears, then re-apply your custom wallpaper using a properly sized image. If artifacts persist, clear WhatsApp's cache via Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Storage > Clear cache and update WhatsApp from the Play Store, since the glitch is typically a rendering bug fixed in newer builds. See how others solved this on Reddit
6
My selfie camera looks bad in WhatsApp video calls on the Galaxy A55 even though the normal camera is fine
WhatsApp uses its own in-app camera at a lower resolution, so it never matches the Samsung Camera app's quality - make sure WhatsApp has Camera permission under Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Permissions and that you're on the latest version from the Play Store. For better video-call clarity, improve your lighting and avoid backlight, since the front sensor drops detail heavily in dim scenes regardless of phone settings. See how others solved this on Reddit

How to install WhatsApp on Samsung Galaxy A55
1
Choose how to download
On your Samsung Galaxy A55 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 Samsung Galaxy A55 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.

Hey there, contacts come from your phone address book. Save them with the country code and refresh the app to see them. Happy chatting!

hey it says my number cant be verified ?

Good question, make sure the number and country code are correct, then ask for a new code. A quick restart of the phone often helps too.
