Dependence on the WhatsApp Messenger application makes us panic a little and we ask questions when it does not work. Especially when we have to send or receive important messages or documents.
Notifications that "Swiping to close WhatsApp can prevent you from receiving notifications” (details here) and "Please Launch WhatsApp to receive messages” (details here) make us wonder what changes have appeared at WhatsApp and if the application works normally.
These two notifications should not worry us. The only real problem is when the status appears ”Connecting…"In the top bar of the application. This is a sign as application can not connect to the Internet or appeared another connection problem.

In this situation, the user has little to do only to wait until the team that deals with the development and maintenance of the application will solve the problem.
