    Are any people having problems backing up chats in WhatsApp Business @WhatsApp on an iPhone? My last backup is dated 14 December and no matter what I do, I cannot create a new one. It stays forever on “Preparing...”. My network is alright. I already applied the usual advice.

  • stax97 Liam O'Rourke (@stax97) reported

    @CiaraODonoghu19 @WhatsApp I’ve read elsewhere that it only seems to be an issue if the phone is on charge. I’ve left mine off the charger over night lately and have had no problems.

  • librarianbe Patrick Vanhoucke (@librarianbe) reported

    @remcowolters79 @WhatsApp So, it might be a bug and not an individual problem? Which gives us hope that it will be fixed in the next app update.

  • nishwanth Sriram (@nishwanth) reported

    @WhatsApp for some reason, WhatsApp iCloud backup isn’t happening. It is stuck at “preparing”. Been having this for more than a month. I deleted and reinstalled the app, turned off/on iCloud for WhatsApp. Not much help. @wcathcart

  • ab_bandit NASHA (@ab_bandit) reported

    Latest Whatsapp update sucks, The option to send gallery images from the app itself is gone. You need to go into the gallery and select the video / image and share it via Whatsapp to send it. @WhatsApp please fix it asap.

  • sawangupta14 Sawan Gupta 🍭🍭 (@sawangupta14) reported

    Hi @WhatsApp someone is using my number to use my WhatsApp. Please help me to solve the issue.

  • CiaraODonoghu19 Ciara O’Donoghue (@CiaraODonoghu19) reported

    @stax97 @WhatsApp Thanks, that hasn’t made a difference for me, it won’t create the back up or let me use the chat search function. Seems to be an iOS issue rather than directly what’s app, but their support is useless.

    @remcowolters79 @WhatsApp Same problem, no resolution. #WhatsApp customer support is no help.

  • remcowolters79 Remco Wolters (@remcowolters79) reported

    @librarianbe @WhatsApp Yeah it must be a bug considered all the hundreds of complaints on Twitter on this issue.

  • stax97 Liam O'Rourke (@stax97) reported

    @WhatsApp Any chance of fixing the back up issues? Automatic back up failing regularly with no response from help team 🤷🏻
