Latest known WhatsApp problems on Mi 11
1
Why are my WhatsApp notifications delayed or missing on my Mi 11?
MIUI aggressively kills background apps to save battery, which delays WhatsApp pushes. Go to Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp, open Battery saver and set it to No restrictions, then turn on Autostart on the same WhatsApp app page. This lets WhatsApp keep running in the background so notifications arrive on time. See how others solved this on Reddit

WhatsApp notifications only arrive when I unlock my Mi 11 Ultra. How do I fix it?
This is the classic MIUI memory-management issue where WhatsApp gets frozen until you wake the screen. Open the Recents (multitasking) view, swipe down on the WhatsApp card and tap the lock icon to keep it from being cleared, then turn on Autostart under Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp. Finally set its Battery saver mode to No restrictions so it stays active while the screen is off.

WhatsApp call notifications don't show up on my Mi 11 lock screen. What should I do?
Call alerts need lock-screen permission plus unrestricted background activity. Go to Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Other permissions and enable Show on lock screen, then turn on Autostart and set Battery saver to No restrictions on the WhatsApp app page. In WhatsApp itself, open Settings > Notifications and confirm the Calls notification is enabled with a ringtone. See how others solved this on Reddit

After a MIUI update my Mi 11 can't send WhatsApp messages or media. How do I get it working again?
Updates can reset WhatsApp's permissions, blocking sending. Go to Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > App permissions and re-grant Storage/Files and Photos, and make sure WhatsApp isn't restricted from background data on the same app page. If it persists, clear the WhatsApp cache via Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Clear data > Clear cache, reboot, and update WhatsApp from the Play Store. See how others solved this on Reddit

WhatsApp keeps crashing on my Mi 11. How can I stop it?
Crashes are usually caused by a corrupted cache or an outdated build after a system update. First clear the cache under Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Clear data > Clear cache, then update WhatsApp from the Play Store. If it still closes, back up your chats in WhatsApp Settings > Chats > Chat backup, then uninstall and reinstall the app for a clean install. See how others solved this on Reddit

How to install WhatsApp on Mi 11
1
Choose how to download
On your Mi 11 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 11 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, it depends on your connection. Try switching to wifi if you can, and the download should finish in under a minute on most networks. Enjoy WhatsApp on your your phone!
