WhatsApp has become the main way in which Spaniards communicate with our friends, family and even co-workers, and this, among the many reasons why it happens, is because it is a free platform that is full of functionalities and tools that improve conversations.
It is no longer just the messages, calls or video calls that the app allows us to make, but there are many other functions that offer us relevant information in the conversation, such as the ticks that your message jumps when it has reached its recipient or when they turn blue, which means that the person has read it.
Another of the indicatives offered by the app owned by Meta is that of “be online”which basically means that at that time you are connected to the app either by replying to a message or by changing your profile picture. However, several users have detected an error in the app, since many times it appeared that they were connected when in reality at that moment they were no longer connected.
Why is this happening?
This failure, which is not really a serious problem Beyond someone getting mad at you because you haven’t answered them to your message even though you appeared “online”. Despite the fact that the app is constantly being updated, there is a bug that it hasn’t been able to fix in all these years, mainly because it keeps adding new features.
And it is that despite the fact that WhatsApp is a messaging app, today it offers many more things and performs many more actions. This means that there are times when, without having the app open at that moment, we appear to certain contacts as if we are connected when the reality is that we are not.
This happens because Despite having closed WhatsApp, the platform continues to workeither by making a backup, sending a message or any of the many services offered by the app.
The truth is that the time in which it appears that we are “online” even if we are not usually does not exceed 30 seconds, although if you have connection problems the time may increase more. This has a solution, and although it is simple, it is likely that you do not have to do it every time you exit WhatsApp you prefer to live with being “online” for a while longer than you actually are.
To end this error, when you exit the app you just have to go to Settings, Applications, search WhatsApp and click on the Force Close optionin this way you make all the processes close.
