WhatsApp is not updating on Honor, what should I do - in detail?

If WhatsApp is not updating on your Honor device, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue. Here's a detailed guide to help you:

  1. Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure that your device is connected to a stable internet connection. WhatsApp updates require an active data or Wi-Fi connection. Try switching between different networks to see if the update proceeds.

  2. Clear Cache and Data: Sometimes, clearing the cache and data of the Google Play Store can resolve updating issues. Here's how you can do it:

    • Go to "Settings" > "Apps" > "Google Play Store".
    • Tap on "Storage" and then "Clear Cache" and "Clear Data".
    • Restart your device and try updating WhatsApp again.

  3. Check for System Updates: Outdated system software can also cause app update issues. Check if there are any pending system updates:

    • Go to "Settings" > "System" > "Software Update".
    • If an update is available, download and install it.

  4. Uninstall and Reinstall WhatsApp: If the problem persists, try uninstalling WhatsApp and then reinstalling it:

    • Go to "Settings" > "Apps" > "WhatsApp".
    • Tap on "Uninstall".
    • After uninstallation, go to the Google Play Store, search for WhatsApp, and tap on "Install".

  5. Check Device Storage: Ensure that your device has enough storage space for the update. If your storage is full, free up some space by deleting unused files or apps.

  6. Disable Battery Optimization: Battery optimization features can sometimes interfere with app updates. Try disabling it for WhatsApp:

    • Go to "Settings" > "Battery".
    • Tap on the three-dot menu and select "Battery optimization".
    • Find WhatsApp in the list and set it to "Don't optimize".

  7. Check Date and Time Settings: Incorrect date and time settings can cause issues with app updates. Ensure that your device's date, time, and time zone are correct:

    • Go to "Settings" > "System" > "Date & time".
    • Enable "Automatic date & time" and "Automatic time zone".
