WhatsApp Status Not Showing? How to Fix It (Android and iPhone) You post a WhatsApp status, but your friends cannot see it. Or you open WhatsApp and a friend's status is missing, even though they posted one an hour ago. Sometimes your own status disappears, and sometimes other people's statuses never load at all. This is a common problem, and in most cases it is not a bug. It is a privacy setting, a muted update, a bad connection, or an old version of WhatsApp. Work through the fixes below in order, from fastest to slowest. Most people only need the first three. Quick answer: First check your Status privacy. Open WhatsApp, go to Settings > Privacy > Status, and make sure it is set to My Contacts. Then check the Muted updates section, update WhatsApp, and check your internet connection. If a specific person cannot see your status, check if they are saved in your contacts and not blocked.

WhatsApp Backup Stuck? How to Fix It (iPhone and Android) You open WhatsApp, tap Back Up Now, and the backup stops at 0%, 47%, or 99%. Sometimes it stays on "Preparing backup" for hours. Sometimes it says "Couldn't complete backup" and gives up. This is stressful, because your chats feel unsafe until the backup finishes. The good news is that your chats are still on your phone while the backup is stuck. In most cases, the problem is simple: not enough cloud space, a weak connection, or a backup that is too large. Work through the fixes below in order, from fastest to slowest. Most people only need the first three. Quick answer: Check your cloud storage first. On Android, WhatsApp backs up to Google Drive. On iPhone, it backs up to iCloud. Free up space, connect to strong Wi-Fi, turn off Include Videos, and try again. Keep your phone charging and leave WhatsApp open while the backup runs. First, Check Your Last Backup Before you try any fix, check this. It tells ...
