Latest known WhatsApp problems on Mi 10

1

Why are my WhatsApp notifications delayed or missing on the Mi 10?

This is almost always MIUI's aggressive battery management killing WhatsApp in the background. Open Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp, set Battery saver to No restrictions, and turn on Autostart. Then in Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Notifications, confirm notifications are allowed so messages can push instantly. See how others solved this on Reddit
2

WhatsApp calls and notifications only show up when I open the app on my Mi 10 — how do I fix that?

When alerts only appear after you manually open WhatsApp, MIUI is freezing the app once the screen locks. Lock WhatsApp in Recents (open Recent apps, swipe down on the WhatsApp card and tap the lock icon) so it won't be cleared. Also set Autostart on and Battery saver to No restrictions under Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp, which keeps the live connection open for incoming calls.

WhatsApp notifications got worse after a MIUI update on my Mi 10 — what changed?

MIUI updates frequently reset per-app battery and autostart settings, so WhatsApp gets throttled again after each upgrade. Re-apply the fix: Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp, set Battery saver to No restrictions and enable Autostart. Then confirm WhatsApp notifications are still allowed in Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Notifications, as updates sometimes silence channels too. See how others solved this on Reddit

My Mi 10 gets WhatsApp message notifications but WhatsApp call notifications fail — why?

Calls need WhatsApp running constantly, so even light background restriction breaks incoming-call alerts while regular messages still arrive. Set Battery saver to No restrictions and enable Autostart for WhatsApp, then open Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Other permissions and allow Display pop-up windows while running in background and Show on Lock screen. This lets the full-screen call alert appear even when the phone is idle. See how others solved this on Reddit

WhatsApp notifications randomly stop working on my Mi 10T Pro after a while — how do I make them reliable?

Intermittent silence is a sign MIUI is putting WhatsApp to sleep during long idle periods. Go to Settings > Battery & performance > App battery saver, select WhatsApp, and choose No restrictions. Also keep the WhatsApp card locked in Recents (swipe down on it and tap the lock icon) so it isn't purged overnight. See how others solved this on Reddit
6

WhatsApp calls don't notify on my Xiaomi Smart Band paired with the Mi 10 — what do I check?

The band only mirrors alerts the phone actually pushes, so if WhatsApp is throttled the band stays silent. First make WhatsApp notifications reliable on the phone (Battery saver = No restrictions, Autostart on), then open the Mi Fitness app > Profile > your band > Notifications, enable App alerts and toggle WhatsApp on. Also set the Mi Fitness app to Autostart and No restrictions so the Bluetooth link survives in the background. See how others solved this on Reddit

How to install WhatsApp on Mi 10 — video walkthrough

How to install WhatsApp on Mi 10

1

Choose how to download

On your Mi 10 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 Mi 10 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.
