I recently received my Nothing Phone 3a and I’m really happy with it! I’m experiencing an issue with WhatsApp notifications, and I’m wondering if others have encountered this too.
The phone’s “Silent notifications” setting seems to automatically categorize certain WhatsApp chats and groups as silent, meaning I don’t receive notifications for them. This selection appears to be random - some groups/chats notify me normally, while others don’t.

Is this a known issue? How can I resolve this? Currently, sometimes I overlook some messages from friends/family that I would rather be notified of.
