WhatsApp reading my messages and not giving notifications if the chat is open in the app window

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I have other issues already on here (like duplicate notifications and clicking the notification not opening the app), but I actually haven't seen this on here yet.

I hear the noise you hear on WhatsApp when you receive a message, from on the home screen as it reads the message due to Sailfish doing true multitasking however this actually is of major inconvenience for messaging apps as unless you return to the WhatsApp message list you won't get notified as it will just read the texts for you.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Only installed Sailfish yesterday, loving it, but unless I every time I minimise the app remember to go back to the message list, it is not giving me notifications :(

Yes, I can confirm this on XA2 since the beta rolled out so it's not a problem of the Oulanka only. Maybe someone who has Xperia X for instance can tell if it occurs om that device too. Ait's definitely due to the app running in background

I have the issue where if i click the Watsapp notification the app hangs and i have to restart android. Its about 50% of the time, if i get the notification at all.

I tend to also have to restart android after watsapp gets minimized. If i click on it to return to it, it hangs until android restart more times than not.
