Problem

When using WhatsApp on Huawei Mate X6 and Mate X7 foldable phones in full unfolded dual-screen mode, abnormal issues may occur. The app shows a white screen, lags severely, or cannot be swiped when returning from a chat window or launching WhatsApp.

Cause

The compatibility issue is caused by abnormal system software adaptation.

Temporary Solution

2. Unfold the phone to return to dual-screen mode, go to WhatsApp > Settings > Chats, and turn off the Side-by-Side View feature;

  1. Fully close and restart WhatsApp. The issue will be resolved.
