WhatsApp status isn't working: what you can do

In WhatsApp status you can share pictures and videos, which will be online for 24 hours. In the status, you can also see the pictures of your contacts. If nothing is displayed in the status or individual users cannot see your status, this can have various causes.

Fix problems with WhatsApp status

Have you shared a picture in the WhatsApp status and some of your friends cannot see this picture? Or do you not see pictures of your contacts? There are several possible causes for this problem.

• Add contacts: You can only see the status of users if you have added each other as a contact. So save the number of the people you want to see your status, and also ask to be added as a contact yourself.
• Check permissions: Open the status and select "Status Privacy" under Settings. There you can specify who can see your status. Possibly you have excluded people here. Simply add them back.
• Problems with the Internet: Connection problems can cause the status is not uploaded or pictures of friends do not appear. Turn the WLAN and mobile data off and on again and restart WhatsApp.
• Restart device: Restarting the smartphone can also help with problems.
• Reinstall WhatsApp: Hilft alles nicht, sollten Sie WhatsApp löschen und neu installieren. Machen Sie vorher ein Backup, um Ihre Daten zu sichern.
