when I receive whatsapp from other people, I can read it from notification center..
but when I open the app itself to read the whole conversation, whatsapp waits to connect to its server first before showing the new message although it's already shown in the notification center!
this becomes an issue when I want to read the message where I don't get a good network coverage (meeting rooms etc.) although the message was already in beforehand. have to read it from the notification center instead until I get a good phone signal.
any idea how to come around this issue?

QUOTE(ChillyPepper @ Dec 15 2013, 09:43 PM) This issue used to exist because of iOS's nature. No apps can run in the background (even to receive messages). What actually happens is that the server pushes the message to your phone and you receive Push Notifications. These are just notifications, not messages. When you launch WhatsApp, WhatsApp needs to connect to the servers to download the messages. Well, I wrote "used to exist" because iOS 7 fixes all that by introducing a nifty little feature called Background App Refresh. If you're on iOS 7, go to Settings -> General -> Background App Refresh. Turn it on. Scroll down till you see WhatsApp and turn it on as well. Once that is done, any Push Notifications you receive will trigger WhatsApp to run in the background to receive the messages. Well, of course, it takes a little toll on your battery. thanks for the tips. tried it for a few days. still doesn't solve the issue. I guess it's just how ios is like others already mentioned.. |

QUOTE(ChillyPepper @ Dec 19 2013, 06:44 PM) I experimented again after what you mentioned. Note: You have to leave the app running. Don't swipe it up in Multitasking. You have to leave it in the bar. Don't force quit. Either that (disabling Background App Refresh) or force-quitting the app. thanks bro, already gave it a try and now it works flawlessly. the app itself needs to be opened in the background for it to work. I'm still new in iOS so this is new to me. |
