Maybe here there is a guru with an answer or a workaraound: whatsapp is working correctly but when new messages are received, no ringtone sounds even if it is set up in the settings. Any idea?

simple workaround is to put any ringtone in /sdcard and select it from the settings. This still doesn't always work if the app thinks it's in foreground.

A native app is in the work. Just to let you know that you will not be stucked with this android app forever.

@Neo really? I would appreciate it, good news not to be bound to the android app forever, the ringtone issue is quite annoying!

@late88 unfortunately I don't have a sd card to try.

@Gabir there is /sdcard folder in / (root)

And I hope that someone finds a simple workaraound for the whatsapp ringtone issue in the meantime, it's quite annoying!
