Latest known WhatsApp problems on Honor Magic 6
1
Why won't my camera start in WhatsApp on the Honor Magic 6?
This is usually a permission or background-restriction issue tied to MagicOS power management. Open Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Permissions and set Camera to Allow, then go to Settings > Battery > App launch, find WhatsApp, turn off automatic management and manually enable Auto-launch, Secondary launch and Run in background. If the camera still hangs, clear WhatsApp's cache via Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Storage and reboot the phone. See how others solved this on Reddit

People say they can't hear me clearly during WhatsApp calls on my Magic 6 Pro, how do I fix it?
Go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Permissions and confirm Microphone is set to Allow, and remove any screen protector or case covering the bottom microphone. Then exclude WhatsApp from battery optimization in Settings > Battery > App launch (set it to Manage manually with Run in background on) so the mic isn't throttled during background calls. If it persists, clear WhatsApp's cache under Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Storage and test on speaker to isolate whether it's the mic or the earpiece. See how others solved this on Reddit
3
My Honor Magic 6 doesn't show WhatsApp incoming call notifications on screen, how do I get the full-screen call alert back?
MagicOS can strip notification privileges from apps it puts to sleep. Go to Settings > Notifications > WhatsApp and enable Allow notifications plus Lock screen and Banner display, then make sure the Calls category has Banners/pop-up turned on. Critically, open Settings > Battery > App launch, set WhatsApp to Manage manually and turn on Auto-launch and Run in background so it stays alive to ring. See how others solved this on Reddit
4
Why is my WhatsApp video call quality so poor on the Honor Magic 6 Pro?
WhatsApp caps third-party video at a low bitrate, and MagicOS may throttle the camera during background calls. Keep Camera permission set to Allow under Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Permissions and exclude WhatsApp from battery optimization in Settings > Battery > App launch (Manage manually, Run in background on). Update WhatsApp to the latest version from AppGallery or Play Store, and in WhatsApp > Settings > Storage and data make sure 'Use less data for calls' is turned off.

5
The camera preview in WhatsApp is choppy and laggy on my Magic 6, what's going on?
The stutter often comes from MagicOS limiting WhatsApp when it treats the app as restricted. Open Settings > Battery > App launch, set WhatsApp to Manage manually and enable Run in background, then turn off any Power saving mode (Settings > Battery) while on calls. If the lag persists, clear WhatsApp's cache under Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Storage, or reinstall from the Play Store/AppGallery. See how others solved this on Reddit
6
WhatsApp keeps closing or losing connection in the background on my Honor Magic 6, how do I stop it?
MagicOS aggressively closes background apps, especially on screen lock, which drops WhatsApp's connection and delays messages. Go to Settings > Battery > App launch, switch WhatsApp from automatic to Manage manually, and enable all three toggles (Auto-launch, Secondary launch, Run in background). Then open the Recents view and lock WhatsApp's card (swipe down on it or tap the padlock) so the cleaner doesn't kill it. See how others solved this on Reddit

How to install WhatsApp on Honor Magic 6
1
Choose how to download
On your Honor Magic 6 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 Honor Magic 6 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.

anyone? why does it crash on opening

Try clearing the cache and updating your phone software, then install the latest version again. That usually stops the crashing.
