The phone didn't ring, buzz, or notify you, leaving you scrambling to explain why you didn't pick up. Luckily, a little detective work usually reveals the culprit. Here are four reasons your iPhone may fail to alert you about an incoming WhatsApp call.

Connected elsewhere If your iPhone is linked up with wireless headphones, speakers, or even your Apple Watch , incoming call notifications can get rerouted without you realising. For example, WhatsApp call sounds may automatically play through AirPods instead of the iPhone sp...

  Most flagship smartphones can deliver a dedicated gaming smartphone-like experience. However, with extended sessions, the performance takes a hit, as most of them are cooled passively meaning they heat up quickly under heavy load and take a while to come back to normal temperature.

Now, Hong Kong -based smartphone maker, Infinix , is offering a practical feature, and that too on a much more affordable device. The phone looks different with its mechanical-inspired design (Image credit: Vivek Umashankar/The Indian Express) From the first look, it’s very evident that the Infinix GT is a gaming phone with its Cyber Mecha 2.0 design. That’s not it, it also has a Nothing Phone (2a) like glyph lighting system at the back. Despite being an inspired feature, I liked how Infinix had implemented it, unlike Nothing’s approach with just a single coloured light, the Inf...

  WhatsApp Will Soon Let You Send Photos And Files Without Using The Internet The feature is being currently tested with the Android beta version which clearly shows WhatsApp asking for permission on your phone to access nearby devices, your photo gallery on the phone and location of the device as well, something that Nearby Share also needs to get the off-the-internet file sharing to come through.
