WhatsApp for Honor X9a

MagicOS aggressively closes background apps, so open Settings > Apps > Apps > WhatsApp > Battery usage and set it to 'No restrictions', then turn on 'Auto-launch', 'Secondary launch' and 'Run in background' under app launch management. Next go to Settings > Notifications & status bar > Notifications > WhatsApp and make sure the 'Calls' channel is on with sound and 'Banners'/pop-up enabled. Finally, open the recent-apps switcher and lock WhatsApp (swipe down on its card or tap the lock icon) so MagicOS can't clear it from memory. See how others solved this on Reddit

WhatsApp's official chat history does not transfer through iCloud, because iOS backups are stored in a format Android can't restore. On the Honor X9a the most reliable route is Honor Clone Phone (Settings > System & updates > Clone Phone): start it on the X9a as the new phone, install Clone Phone on the iPhone, and connect them so it can copy WhatsApp data during the migration. If chats still don't come across, as a fallback open each important conversation in WhatsApp > tap the contact/group name > Export chat to save the text, and use a paid third-party tool such as MobileTrans or Wutsapper for a full-history transfer.

The full-screen incoming-call card needs both notification and overlay permissions. Go to Settings > Notifications & status bar > Notifications > WhatsApp > Calls and enable 'Lock screen notifications' plus 'Banners'/pop-up display. Then open Settings > Apps > Apps > WhatsApp > Permissions and allow 'Display over other apps' (also called 'Display pop-up windows while running in background'), which MagicOS often blocks by default. Combined with 'No restrictions' battery usage, the caller pop-up should appear on the lock screen. See how others solved this on Reddit

This is MagicOS's memory and battery management freezing the app in the background. Open Settings > Apps > Apps > WhatsApp > Battery usage and set 'No restrictions', then make sure 'Manage automatically' is turned off for WhatsApp under app launch management and that 'Auto-launch'/'Run in background' are enabled. Disabling any power-saving or sleep mode for WhatsApp and keeping it locked in the recent-apps switcher keeps notifications arriving in real time. See how others solved this on Reddit

Live Caption is a Google/Pixel feature and Honor has not bundled it into MagicOS 9, so it won't appear under Settings > Accessibility features on the X9a. As a workaround, use WhatsApp's own voice-message transcription where available: open a voice note, tap and hold or tap the transcribe icon to read it as text. There's no system-wide Live Caption equivalent on the X9a today. See how others solved this on Reddit
