Troubleshooting

How to fix WhatsApp Business not working

WhatsApp Business is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach whatsapp.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

  1. Restart the app and test your connection

    Force stop the app and open it again; on Android that's Settings > Apps > WhatsApp Business > Force stop. Then switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. A blocked network or a weak signal stops messages from sending while everything else looks normal, so test both.

  2. Set the phone clock to automatic

    A clock that drifts a few minutes off breaks the connection to the servers, so open the date and time settings on your phone and switch on Set automatically (on stock Android it sits under Settings > System > Date & time). Do the same for the time zone, then reopen the app.

  3. Clear the app cache

    On Android, go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp Business > Storage & cache and tap Clear cache, which drops temporary files without touching your chats. Don't tap Clear storage, since that wipes the account data held on the phone. iPhone has no cache option at all, so jump to the reinstall step instead.

  4. Update or reinstall the app

    Check the Play Store or App Store for an update first. If that doesn't help, back up chats under Settings > Chats > Chat backup, uninstall the app, then install it again and restore the backup when you register with the same number. A verification code that never arrives usually clears up after a reinstall, so request it once more.

While WhatsApp Business is down: what to use instead

  • Phone call Call the customer's regular number if a stuck chat is holding up an order and you need a spoken answer.
  • SMS Send a text when you only need a quick confirmation and the other person may not have another chat app installed.
  • Signal Switch to Signal if both sides already use it and the conversation must stay private while the app is unavailable.
  • Email Email the order detail or invoice when the reply can wait and you want a written record.
Your device

Fix WhatsApp Business on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone

WhatsApp Business on Windows

Fix
Restart the WhatsApp Business desktop app or try accessing it via your web browser. Ensure that Windows Defender Firewall is not blocking the app's network access.
Check
Look for a persistent 'Connecting' status or a yellow banner at the top of the WhatsApp Business desktop app. You can also check if the web version fails to load your chats.
Command Prompt
ping whatsapp.comTest whether WhatsApp Business's servers reply
nslookup whatsapp.comCheck that WhatsApp Business's DNS resolves
tracert whatsapp.comTrace where the connection drops
ipconfig /flushdnsClear the DNS cache, then reload

WhatsApp Business on Mac

Fix
Force quit the WhatsApp Business app and reopen it, or clear your browser cache if using the web version. Check your macOS System Settings to ensure the app has permission to access the network.
Check
Verify if the WhatsApp Business Mac app is stuck on 'Connecting' or fails to sync your QR code. Try opening other websites to see if the issue is specific to the service.
Terminal
ping -c 4 whatsapp.comTest whether WhatsApp Business's servers reply
nslookup whatsapp.comCheck that WhatsApp Business's DNS resolves
traceroute whatsapp.comTrace where the connection drops
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderFlush the macOS DNS cache, then reload

WhatsApp Business on Android

Fix
Clear the WhatsApp Business app cache in your Android settings and check the Google Play Store for updates. Toggle your Wi-Fi or mobile data off and on to refresh your connection.
Check
Check if your sent messages in WhatsApp Business are stuck on a clock icon instead of showing checkmarks. A persistent 'Connecting...' banner at the top of your chat list also indicates a connection issue.

WhatsApp Business on iPhone and iPad

Fix
Update WhatsApp Business through the App Store and ensure cellular data permissions are enabled in your iOS settings. Restart your iPhone or toggle Airplane Mode to reset your network connection.
Check
Look for the 'Connecting...' status bar at the top of the WhatsApp Business chat screen. If your messages fail to send and display a red exclamation mark or a clock icon, the service may be down.
About

What happens when WhatsApp Business goes down

WhatsApp Business is a messaging app for shops, salons, repair services, and online sellers who answer customers from a phone or the web. An outage cuts replies, order confirmations, catalog shares, and business profile details.

Messages often stall first: you hit send and the clock icon sits there, or the chat shows 'Waiting for this message' while the customer sees nothing. Voice notes fail to upload, calls do not ring, catalog images open blank, and the business profile can load without its photo. Quick replies still show; sending one can hang. Trouble is often partial or regional, since one phone, one network, one account, or one country can break while another works, and the status at the top shows whether problem reports are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours; this site does not ping or monitor the service itself.

Questions

WhatsApp Business FAQ

Is WhatsApp Business down right now?
The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for the app are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. To rule out your side, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, open a normal website, try the same account on WhatsApp Web, and test a second phone on the same network. If other apps work and another device gets through, the trouble is local to your phone or connection.

Why does WhatsApp Business say my phone number is already registered when I try to set it up?
That message usually means the number still has an active WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business account, or a verification attempt is stuck on another device. Delete the old account from the app or finish verification on the device that has the SIM, then request the code again. If you moved the SIM to a new phone, turn off the old phone first so the code reaches the new one.

Why won't my WhatsApp Business catalog load for customers?
A catalog can fail to load when the phone has a weak connection, the app is out of date, the business profile has a pending review, or the catalog was never saved after an edit. Open the catalog on your own phone first; if products show there but customers see an empty catalog, check the business profile visibility and resave the catalog. Switching to mobile data and updating the app clears most local loading faults.

Why does WhatsApp Business Web keep logging me out?
Linked devices drop when the phone loses its connection for too long, when you clear the app's data, when battery saver kills background sync, or when you remove the computer from the Linked devices list. Keep the phone online and open the app once, then pair the computer again from Linked devices. If it logs out a second time, delete the old entry in that menu before you link it.

What does the clock icon next to a WhatsApp Business message mean?
A clock icon means the message is waiting for a connection or for the app to finish syncing with your phone. Check that mobile data or Wi-Fi is on and that your phone has storage free. On a linked device, reopen the phone app so the session can refresh, then send the message again.

How we track WhatsApp Business

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for WhatsApp Business, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for WhatsApp Business, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. WhatsApp Business doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
