Latest known WhatsApp problems on LG Stylus 2 Plus
1
Why am I not getting any WhatsApp notifications on my LG Stylus 2 Plus?
First, open Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Notifications and make sure notifications are turned on, then inside WhatsApp tap the three-dot menu > Settings > Notifications and confirm both Message and Group notifications are enabled. Also check Settings > Battery & power saving and remove WhatsApp from any battery-saving or app-optimization list, since the LG power saver often kills its background connection.

WhatsApp messages only show up when I open the app on my LG Stylus 2 Plus
This usually means WhatsApp is being stopped from running in the background, so it only syncs when you open it. The Stylus 2 Plus shipped with Android 6 Marshmallow, so go to Settings > Battery & power saving > Battery usage, tap WhatsApp, and set 'Optimize battery usage' to off (Don't optimize) so Doze stops cutting its connection while the screen is off.

My WhatsApp notifications come in silent with no sound on the LG Stylus 2 Plus
Open WhatsApp > three-dot menu > Settings > Notifications and set a Notification tone for both messages and groups instead of None, and make sure Vibrate is not off. Then confirm your phone isn't in Do Not Disturb or Silent mode from the quick-settings panel, and check Settings > Sound & notification that the ringer/notification volume isn't muted.

WhatsApp notifications are delayed or arrive late on my LG Stylus 2 Plus
Delays almost always come from the phone cutting WhatsApp's data when the screen is off. Go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Data usage and make sure 'Restrict background data' is off, and under Settings > Battery & power saving turn off any power-saving mode that limits background apps. Setting Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced Wi-Fi > 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' to Always also helps keep messages flowing. See how others solved this on Reddit
5
WhatsApp notifications stopped working after a recent update on my LG Stylus 2 Plus
After an update the notification setting can silently reset, so reopen Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Notifications and toggle them off and back on. If they still fail, clear WhatsApp's cache via Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Storage > Clear cache (this won't delete your chats), then update WhatsApp from the Play Store, since very old builds lose background connectivity.

How to install WhatsApp on LG Stylus 2 Plus
1
Choose how to download
On your LG Stylus 2 Plus 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 LG Stylus 2 Plus 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.
