- Connect to another Wi-Fi network.
- Check if other apps have an internet connection.

- Next, press and hold the power button until the device restarts.

WhatsApp may not work properly because it is an old version with errors, so you should check if the app has a software update. You can enter the App Store and check for updates, or click on the link to WhatsApp and see if there are updates.
6. Close other WhatsApp sessions on other devices
If you are using WhatsApp Web or the summer of WhatsApp for desktop, we recommend that you log out of these apps, perhaps you may have a problem. You can do it from the app WhatsApp> Settings> Linked devices. Delete all the devices that appear.
7. Delete WhatsApp and reinstall it
The last option if nothing has worked is that you choose to delete the app and download it again. Of course, before making sure you have a backup of WhatsApp with all your chats. Go into WhatsApp> Settings> Chats> Backup> Back up now. Then delete the app and download it again.
