Latest known WhatsApp problems on Xiaomi 15

1

Why are my WhatsApp notifications delayed or silent on the Xiaomi 15?

HyperOS aggressively kills background apps to save battery, which holds back WhatsApp pushes. Go to Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Battery saver and set it to No restrictions. Then enable Autostart for WhatsApp under Settings > Apps > Permissions > Autostart so it can wake on new messages, and confirm notifications are allowed under Settings > Notifications > App notifications > WhatsApp. See how others solved this on Reddit

WhatsApp messages aren't delivered on my Xiaomi 15 until I open the app

This is almost always HyperOS freezing WhatsApp in the background, so messages only sync when you launch it. Set WhatsApp to No restrictions under Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Battery saver, enable Autostart under Settings > Apps > Permissions > Autostart, and lock WhatsApp in the Recents screen (open Recents, pull WhatsApp down and tap the lock icon) so HyperOS stops killing the connection.

People can't hear me on WhatsApp calls on the Xiaomi 15

Confirm WhatsApp has microphone access under Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Permissions > Microphone, and check that the Privacy quick toggle that mutes the mic globally is off. If the mic works in voice memos but not WhatsApp calls, clear the WhatsApp cache via Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Storage, and test with any wired or Bluetooth headset disconnected, since HyperOS can route audio to the wrong device.

How do I move my WhatsApp chats from an old iPhone to the Xiaomi 15?

Use WhatsApp's official Move to Android tool. On a factory-fresh or reset Xiaomi 15, during WhatsApp setup choose to transfer from iPhone and scan the QR code, with a USB-C to Lightning cable connecting both phones. iCloud backups can't be restored directly on Android, so this wired transfer is the only supported way to keep your chat history.

Photos I receive in WhatsApp don't show up in the Xiaomi 15 Gallery

WhatsApp media won't appear if the app lacks file access or media visibility is disabled. Grant WhatsApp file access under Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Permissions > Files and media, then in WhatsApp open Settings > Chats and enable Media visibility. If folders are still hidden, confirm Gallery itself has Photos/storage permission so it indexes the WhatsApp Images folder. See how others solved this on Reddit

How to install WhatsApp on Xiaomi 15 — video walkthrough

How to install WhatsApp on Xiaomi 15

1

Choose how to download

On your Xiaomi 15 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 15 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.

Hey there, only the official app here. Modified versions can get your account banned, so we never link to them. Happy chatting!

verification keeps failing for me

AppWhatsOfficialSep 13, 2025

Thanks for asking, make sure the number and country code are correct, then ask for a new code. A quick restart of the phone often helps too.

Hey there, no problem. Without Play Store you can use the official APK, just allow installs from your browser first. Happy chatting!
