Latest known WhatsApp problems on Samsung Galaxy M54
1
WhatsApp voice notes are silent or have no sound on my Galaxy M54 — how do I fix it?
This is almost always a microphone permission that One UI has revoked. Go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Permissions > Microphone and set it to "Allow only while using the app," then check that the master toggle in Settings > Security and privacy > Permission manager > Microphone isn't blocking it. After granting access, fully close WhatsApp from the recent-apps view and re-record the voice note so the new permission takes effect. See how others solved this on Reddit

WhatsApp won't let me send audio messages on my Galaxy M54 — what's wrong?
On One UI this usually happens when the microphone is held by another app or blocked by a recently revoked permission, so first reboot the phone to release the mic. Then confirm Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Permissions > Microphone is set to allow, clear WhatsApp's cache via Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Storage > Clear cache, and make sure WhatsApp is updated from the Play Store. If audio still fails, disconnect any Bluetooth earbuds, since the M54 may be routing the mic to them. See how others solved this on Reddit

My Galaxy M54 microphone works for calls but cuts out intermittently in WhatsApp — how do I stop it?
Intermittent mic dropouts on One UI are often caused by aggressive battery optimization killing WhatsApp's background access, so go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Battery and set it to "Unrestricted." Also turn off "Put unused apps to sleep" under Settings > Battery > Background usage limits for WhatsApp, and disable any third-party call-recording or audio apps that grab the microphone. As a hardware check, test the mic in a voice recorder app to rule out debris in the bottom mic hole. See how others solved this on Reddit

How do I answer WhatsApp calls through Android Auto on my Galaxy M54?
WhatsApp calls only surface in Android Auto when its notifications are enabled there, so open Android Auto settings on the phone and under Notifications make sure WhatsApp is allowed to show. On the M54 also confirm Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Notifications is on and that Do Not Disturb isn't suppressing calls while driving; then incoming WhatsApp voice calls appear on the car screen with an answer button. Note that Android Auto handles WhatsApp voice calls but not video calls. See how others solved this on Reddit

Should I pick the Galaxy M54 over an S20 FE if WhatsApp reliability and updates matter to me?
The M54 ships with newer One UI and generally gets a longer software-support window than the older S20 FE, which matters for keeping WhatsApp and its permission system working smoothly over time. The M54 also has the much bigger 6000mAh battery, while the S20 FE's edge is its 120Hz AMOLED display and slightly better cameras. For pure messaging and longevity, the M54 is the safer long-term pick. See how others solved this on Reddit

How to install WhatsApp on Samsung Galaxy M54
1
Choose how to download
On your Samsung Galaxy M54 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 M54 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.

Sorry but why is it downloading so slowly pls
AppWhatsOfficialApr 18, 2025
Good question, a slow download is usually the network. A stable wifi connection will speed it up a lot.
