Latest known WhatsApp problems on Xiaomi 13 Pro
1
WhatsApp photos and videos not showing in gallery on my Xiaomi 13 Pro after a HyperOS update
A HyperOS/MIUI gallery update can break the media scan so WhatsApp images stop appearing in the Gallery app. In WhatsApp open Settings > Chats and turn on Media visibility, then go to Settings > Apps > Manage apps > Gallery, clear its cache, and reboot the phone to force a fresh media re-scan. If they still don't appear, confirm there's no .nomedia file in the WhatsApp media folder and that WhatsApp has the Files and media (storage) permission granted under Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Permissions.

Why are pictures sent through WhatsApp on my Xiaomi 13 Pro coming out blurry?
WhatsApp compresses photos by default, which causes the blur, not the camera. To keep full resolution, in a chat tap the attach (paperclip) icon, choose Document instead of Gallery, and send the image as a file. You can also raise WhatsApp Settings > Storage and data > Media upload quality to Best quality, and tap the HD button on the editing screen before sending. See how others solved this on Reddit

WhatsApp keeps crashing or closing on my Xiaomi 13 Pro
Repeated crashes are usually a corrupted cache or an outdated build on HyperOS. Open Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp and tap Clear cache (not Clear data, which would wipe local chats), then update WhatsApp from the Play Store or Mi GetApps. If it persists, reinstall WhatsApp and restore your chats from the Google Drive backup during setup. See how others solved this on Reddit
4
WhatsApp call and message notifications are delayed or not showing on my Xiaomi 13 Pro
HyperOS aggressively kills background apps to save battery, which silences WhatsApp notifications. Go to Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Battery saver and set it to No restrictions, then turn on Autostart for WhatsApp under Settings > Apps > Permissions > Autostart. Also lock WhatsApp in Recents (open the Recents view, swipe down on its card and tap the lock icon) so the system stops closing it in the background. See how others solved this on Reddit

WhatsApp calls don't appear on the lock screen of my Xiaomi 13 Pro
On HyperOS the full-screen incoming call screen is blocked until you grant the right permissions. 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. Then set WhatsApp's Battery saver to No restrictions so the call screen can wake the display, and in WhatsApp Settings > Notifications confirm notifications are on.

6
WhatsApp video playback or video calls are glitchy on my Xiaomi 13 Pro
Video stutter and call glitches on HyperOS are usually a cache issue or background throttling. Clear the WhatsApp cache under Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp, update to the latest version, and set its Battery saver to No restrictions so the video pipeline isn't throttled. For received videos that won't play, re-download the file and confirm WhatsApp has the Files and media permission so it can read the saved file. See how others solved this on Reddit

How to install WhatsApp on Xiaomi 13 Pro
1
Choose how to download
On your Xiaomi 13 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 Xiaomi 13 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.

No worries, it depends on your connection. Try switching to wifi if you can, and the download should finish in under a minute on most networks. Reach out anytime.
