Latest known WhatsApp problems on Xiaomi 11 Pro
1
WhatsApp call notifications not showing on my Xiaomi 11 Pro even though the phone still rings
MIUI/HyperOS battery optimization is killing WhatsApp's background process, so the call banner never gets drawn. Go to Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp and set Battery saver to No restrictions, then enable Autostart and turn on Display pop-up windows while running in the background. Also long-press the WhatsApp card in Recents and tap the lock icon so the system can't clear it from memory. See how others solved this on Reddit

I get no WhatsApp message notifications at all on my Xiaomi 11 Pro
This is almost always the Autostart and battery restriction combo in MIUI/HyperOS. Open Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp, turn on Autostart, and set Battery saver to No restrictions. Then open WhatsApp's Notifications settings on that same screen and confirm notifications are allowed, including Show on lock screen and Floating notifications, so the app can wake the phone instantly.

WhatsApp notifications are very delayed on my Xiaomi 11 Pro after a MIUI update
Delayed alerts mean the system is throttling WhatsApp's background activity to save power. In Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp, set Battery saver to No restrictions and allow background data (both Wi-Fi and mobile). Also avoid running the built-in Cleaner or Security app's deep clean, which periodically kills the app and breaks its push connection. See how others solved this on Reddit

WhatsApp calls don't appear on the lock screen of my Xiaomi 11 Pro
The full-screen incoming call UI needs the pop-up window permission that MIUI/HyperOS hides by default. Go to Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp > Other permissions and enable Display pop-up windows and Show on lock screen. Then in WhatsApp's app notification settings, make sure the Calls channel is on with Pop on screen enabled so the call covers the lock screen. See how others solved this on Reddit

WhatsApp voice and video calls have terrible quality on my Xiaomi 11 Pro
Choppy or dropped calls usually come from aggressive background limits and Wi-Fi power saving on MIUI. In Settings > Apps > Manage apps > WhatsApp set Battery saver to No restrictions and allow background data on both Wi-Fi and mobile. Then check Settings > Wi-Fi > Additional settings and disable any Wi-Fi power-saving / data-saving option. If it persists, toggle off any VPN and test on the other network type (Wi-Fi vs mobile) to confirm whether it's a connection issue. See how others solved this on Reddit

How do I move my WhatsApp chats from an iPhone to my Xiaomi 11 Pro?
Use the official Move iOS to Android transfer, which is supported on the Xiaomi 11 Pro. On the new phone, during WhatsApp setup verify the same number and follow the Move chats from iPhone prompt, connecting the two phones with a USB-C to Lightning cable when asked. Keep both phones unlocked throughout; the chats land locally, and you can run a fresh Google Drive backup afterward from Settings > Chats > Chat backup. See how others solved this on Reddit

How to install WhatsApp on Xiaomi 11 Pro
1
Choose how to download
On your Xiaomi 11 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 11 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 panic needed. The Download button takes you to the official app, then just install and verify your number.
