Latest known WhatsApp problems on Poco M6 Pro
1
WhatsApp notifications not showing on lock screen on Poco M6 Pro
HyperOS aggressively kills background apps, so first open Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Autostart and turn it on, then open Battery saver for WhatsApp and set it to No restrictions. Next check Settings > Notifications & Control center > Lock screen notifications and make sure WhatsApp is allowed to show content on the lock screen, and inside WhatsApp confirm Settings > Notifications > Show notifications is enabled. As an extra step, lock WhatsApp in the Recents screen (pull the app card down to show the lock icon) so the system stops closing it. See how others solved this on Reddit

WhatsApp photos not showing in the Gallery on my Poco M6 Pro
Open WhatsApp > Settings > Chats and turn on Media visibility so saved photos appear in your gallery, then in Settings > Storage and data > Auto-download enable images for the networks you use. Confirm WhatsApp has the Photos and media permission under Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Permissions. If they still don't show, clear the Gallery app's cache via Settings > Apps > Manage apps > Gallery > Clear data > Clear cache to force a media rescan, then reopen the gallery.

My Poco M6 Pro 5G screen freezes and gets stuck
First force-restart by holding Power + Volume Up for about 10 seconds, then update HyperOS via Settings > About phone > System update and update your apps in the Play Store, since freezes are often a software or app-cache issue. If a specific app keeps sticking, clear its cache under Settings > Apps > Manage apps > (app) > Clear data > Clear cache, and check Settings > Storage to free space, as nearly full storage commonly causes UI lag and freezing.

New Poco M6 Pro feels too slow and laggy, how do I fix it?
Open Settings > About phone and tap the HyperOS version several times to unlock Developer options, then in Settings > Additional settings > Developer options set Window animation, Transition animation and Animator duration scales to 0.5x to make the UI feel snappier. Also reduce background bloat via Settings > Apps and disable unneeded preinstalled apps, keep at least 10-15% storage free, and make sure HyperOS is fully updated, as early firmware on the M6 Pro was noticeably laggy until patched.

Images and GIFs from my keyboard won't send in WhatsApp on the Poco M6 Pro
When the GIF or image fails to attach from the keyboard, grant the keyboard full access in Settings > Apps > Manage apps > (SwiftKey/Gboard) > Permissions, enabling Photos and media. As a reliable workaround, save the GIF or image to your gallery first and send it through WhatsApp's own attachment (paperclip) icon, and make sure both the keyboard app and WhatsApp are updated in the Play Store, since the in-keyboard sharing bug is usually fixed in newer versions.

How to install WhatsApp on Poco M6 Pro
1
Choose how to download
On your Poco M6 Pro 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 Poco M6 Pro 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.

Of course, if you made a backup before, sign in with the same number and tap Restore when asked. WhatsApp pulls your chats from the cloud backup. Enjoy WhatsApp on your your phone!
