Latest known WhatsApp problems on Samsung Galaxy S7 edge (CDMA)
1
My Galaxy S7 edge is several years old and the battery drains fast and feels sluggish. Is it worth keeping?
An aging S7 edge battery is the usual culprit, and since this model has a non-removable battery you'll need a repair shop to swap it, which restores most of the runtime. Before that, open Settings > Device maintenance > Battery to see which apps are draining power, and use Settings > Apps to disable or uninstall heavy background apps. Clearing the cache partition from recovery mode (power off, then hold Volume Up + Home + Power) also smooths out years of buildup. See how others solved this on Reddit

My Galaxy S7 edge suddenly lost mobile data and WhatsApp won't send messages on cellular
On a CDMA S7 edge this is often a network or APN hiccup after a carrier update, so first toggle Airplane mode on and off, then check Settings > Connections > Mobile networks > Access Point Names and reset to default. Confirm WhatsApp can use data under Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Mobile data. If it persists, contact your carrier to re-provision the SIM, as a manual fix is rarely needed.

My Galaxy S7 edge is dying and I want to move WhatsApp to a new phone without losing chats
Back up everything first: open WhatsApp > Settings > Chats > Chat backup and tap Back up to Google Drive while still signed into the same Google account. On a new Android phone, install WhatsApp, verify the same number, and choose Restore when prompted. Moving to an iPhone is different because Google Drive backups aren't cross-platform, so you'd need WhatsApp's official Move to iOS transfer instead. See how others solved this on Reddit

Storage is full on my Galaxy S7 edge and WhatsApp media won't download
WhatsApp photos and videos fill the 32GB S7 edge quickly, so open WhatsApp > Settings > Storage and data > Manage storage to delete large files and forwarded media in bulk. Then turn off auto-download under Settings > Storage and data so new media stops refilling the phone, and offload old photos to a microSD card or Google Photos to free space.

WhatsApp calls and notifications are delayed or silent on my Galaxy S7 edge
Samsung's aggressive battery saver on older builds puts WhatsApp to sleep, so go to Settings > Device maintenance > Battery, and make sure WhatsApp is not in the sleeping or unmonitored apps list. Then confirm notifications are on under Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Notifications, and turn off any Power saving mode so calls ring in real time. See how others solved this on Reddit

How to install WhatsApp on Samsung Galaxy S7 edge (CDMA)
1
Choose how to download
On your Samsung Galaxy S7 edge (CDMA) 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 S7 edge (CDMA) 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.

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