Latest known WhatsApp problems on Samsung Galaxy S20 FE
1
WhatsApp call notifications don't pop up on my Galaxy S20 FE — how do I fix it?
Open Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Notifications and make sure the Calls category is on and set to pop on screen. Then go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Battery and choose Unrestricted so One UI's power saving can't suppress incoming calls. Finally, under Settings > Battery and device care > Battery, turn off any 'Put unused apps to sleep' / 'Auto-disable unused apps' options so WhatsApp keeps running in the background.

How do I password-protect or lock WhatsApp on my Galaxy S20 FE?
WhatsApp has a built-in fingerprint lock: open WhatsApp > tap the three dots > Settings > Privacy > Fingerprint lock and turn it on (the S20 FE uses its in-display fingerprint sensor). For a PIN, pattern, or extra hiding, add WhatsApp to Samsung's Secure Folder via Settings > Security and privacy > Secure Folder, which keeps a separate locked copy of the app behind your chosen credential.

I can't tell my WhatsApp notification sound apart from my normal phone notifications on my S20 FE — can I change it?
Give WhatsApp its own distinct tone in Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Notifications, then open each category (Message notifications, Group notifications) and set a unique Sound. You can also set tones inside WhatsApp under three dots > Settings > Notifications, and assign a custom alert per chat by opening a contact > tap their name > Custom notifications, so WhatsApp never sounds like your phone's default tone.

How do I run two WhatsApp accounts on my Galaxy S20 FE using Dual Messenger?
Go to Settings > Advanced features > Dual Messenger and toggle WhatsApp on, which creates a second cloned WhatsApp you can register with a different number. If the cloned app keeps signing out or misses notifications, set the WhatsApp clone to Unrestricted under Settings > Apps (find the second WhatsApp instance) > Battery > Unrestricted. Note that a Dual Messenger clone can't also be cloned into Secure Folder at the same time. See how others solved this on Reddit
5
Can I use the same WhatsApp account on both my Galaxy S20 FE and my Galaxy Tab?
Yes — use WhatsApp's Linked Devices: on the S20 FE open WhatsApp > three dots > Linked devices > Link a device. On the tablet, either open web.whatsapp.com in a browser (request desktop site) or install WhatsApp and choose 'Link to existing account', then scan the QR code shown on the phone. The tablet syncs your chats and keeps working even when the phone is offline, since WhatsApp now supports multi-device linking. See how others solved this on Reddit
6
WhatsApp photos and videos aren't saving to my Gallery on the S20 FE — how do I enable it?
In WhatsApp tap three dots > Settings > Chats and turn on Media visibility so downloads appear in Samsung Gallery. Make sure WhatsApp has the Photos and videos (media) permission under Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Permissions. For a single chat, open it > tap the contact name > Media visibility > Yes. If items still don't show, open Gallery > three dots > Settings and confirm the WhatsApp Images/Video folders aren't hidden. See how others solved this on Reddit

How to install WhatsApp on Samsung Galaxy S20 FE
1
Choose how to download
On your Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 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 S20 FE 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.

AppWhatsOfficialJun 2, 2025
Sure, older phones can work as long as the app is still offered to them. Updating the OS where possible helps a lot. Glad to help.
