Latest known WhatsApp problems on Redmi 13C
1
Why do my WhatsApp call notifications not show on my Redmi 13C even though it rings?
HyperOS battery restrictions kill WhatsApp in the background, so the incoming-call screen never appears. Go to Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp, set Battery saver to 'No restrictions', and turn on Autostart. Then open Recents, long-press the WhatsApp card, and tap the lock icon so the system won't close it. See how others solved this on Reddit

WhatsApp calls don't appear on my Redmi 13C lock screen — how do I fix it?
WhatsApp needs permission to show full-screen call alerts over the lock screen. Go to Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Other permissions and enable 'Display pop-up windows while running in the background' and 'Show on lock screen'. Also keep the phone's Lock screen notifications enabled under Settings > Notifications & status bar. See how others solved this on Reddit

My Redmi 13C doesn't show WhatsApp message notifications until I open the app — what's wrong?
HyperOS aggressively limits background activity, which delays WhatsApp notifications. Open Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp, set Battery saver to 'No restrictions', and enable Autostart. Then under Settings > Notifications & status bar, confirm WhatsApp notifications are on and not silenced. See how others solved this on Reddit

WhatsApp says my Redmi 13C is 'not the official app' even though I installed it from the Play Store — how do I fix it?
This usually points to a corrupted install, a leftover modified APK, or an outdated build failing WhatsApp's integrity check. First back up your chats (WhatsApp > Settings > Chats > Chat backup), then uninstall WhatsApp completely, restart the phone, and reinstall the latest version only from the Google Play Store — not from a browser or a third-party site like APKPure. Sign in and verify your number again. See how others solved this on Reddit
5
Linked Devices / WhatsApp Web won't connect from my Redmi 13C — what should I do?
Linking fails when the phone's background connection drops or the network is weak during the QR scan. Open WhatsApp > Settings > Linked Devices > Link a device, and make sure the phone has a stable internet connection. If it still fails, remove WhatsApp's battery restrictions under Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp (Battery saver > 'No restrictions'), update WhatsApp, then re-scan the QR code.

My Redmi 13C feels slow and laggy with WhatsApp and multitasking — is there a fix?
The Redmi 13C is an entry-level device, so heavy multitasking and nearly full storage cause slowdowns. Free up space (aim for at least 10-15% free) via Settings > Storage, clear WhatsApp's cache under Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Clear data > Clear cache, and reduce animations in Developer options if needed. Regularly clearing old media via WhatsApp > Settings > Storage and data > Manage storage also helps. See how others solved this on Reddit

How to install WhatsApp on Redmi 13C
1
Choose how to download
On your Redmi 13C 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 Redmi 13C 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.

Hi! Try clearing the cache and updating your phone software, then install the latest version again. That usually stops the crashing. Let us know if you need anything else.

Verification keeps failing for me pls
AppWhatsOfficialFeb 17, 2025
No worries, make sure the number and country code are correct, then ask for a new code. A quick restart of the phone often helps too. Reach out anytime.
