Latest known WhatsApp problems on OnePlus 13s
1
Why aren't WhatsApp notifications showing on my OnePlus 13s, or the message content is hidden on the lock screen?
OxygenOS 15 battery management often kills WhatsApp in the background. Go to Settings > Apps > App management > WhatsApp > Battery usage and set it to 'Don't restrict' (also enable 'Allow background activity'), then under WhatsApp > Notifications turn on all notification categories. If notifications appear but the message text is hidden on the lock screen, that is an Android privacy setting, not an in-app one: go to Settings > Notification & status bar > Lock screen notifications and choose to show content (set it to show conversation content rather than 'Hide content').

How do I transfer my WhatsApp chats from my old iPhone to the OnePlus 13s?
Use WhatsApp's official 'Move to Android' tool. During the OnePlus 13s setup (or after a factory reset), when WhatsApp reaches the 'Transfer chats' step it shows a QR code; open the WhatsApp 'Move to Android' flow on your iPhone and scan that code, with both phones connected by a USB-C to Lightning cable. Both devices must use the same phone number and the latest WhatsApp version. The transfer is one-time and one-directional, so complete it before you start chatting on the new phone.

WhatsApp video call quality is bad on my OnePlus 13s — how can I fix it?
Poor calls are usually a network or background-restriction issue. In Settings > Apps > App management > WhatsApp > Data usage, allow background data and make sure mobile data and Wi-Fi aren't restricted, and in WhatsApp > Settings > Storage and data turn off 'Use less data for calls'. Also confirm WhatsApp isn't battery-restricted (Settings > Apps > App management > WhatsApp > Battery usage > 'Don't restrict'), since a throttled app drops call bitrate. If it only happens on cellular, test on a strong Wi-Fi network to isolate whether it's a signal problem. See how others solved this on Reddit

Can I run two WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business accounts on the OnePlus 13s?
Yes. For two separate apps, use the OxygenOS cloner: Settings > Apps > App cloner, then select WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business to create a second copy on your home screen for a different number. Alternatively, WhatsApp now supports a second account inside the same app on Android: open WhatsApp > Settings, tap the dropdown arrow next to your name at the top, then 'Add account'. For two personal numbers the built-in 'Add account' option may be all you need. See how others solved this on Reddit
5
My WhatsApp contacts aren't showing up correctly on the OnePlus 13s — how do I fix it?
This is almost always a permissions or sync problem. Open Settings > Apps > App management > WhatsApp > Permissions and set Contacts to 'Allow'. Then make sure your contacts are actually synced to your Google account rather than stored only on the SIM or phone: open the Contacts app > settings/menu and check that Google Contacts sync is on, and force a sync via Settings > Accounts and backup (or Settings > Users & accounts) > Google > Account sync. Once contacts repopulate, reopen WhatsApp and the missing names should appear. See how others solved this on Reddit
6
Why doesn't WhatsApp show an unread number badge on the app icon on my OnePlus 13s?
OxygenOS supports numeric badges but they may need enabling. Go to Settings > Home screen & Lock screen (or Settings > Notification & status bar) > App badges, turn it on, and choose 'Number' instead of just a dot. Then in Settings > Apps > App management > WhatsApp > Notifications make sure notifications and 'Allow notification dot/badge' are enabled, otherwise the count won't appear on the icon.

How to install WhatsApp on OnePlus 13s
1
Choose how to download
On your OnePlus 13s 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 OnePlus 13s 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 it says my number cant be verified anyone

Good question, double check the country code and that you have signal, then request a fresh SMS code. If it still fails, wait a few minutes before trying again. Glad to help.
