What to do if a device disconnects

WhatsApp disconnections can occur for a variety of reasons.
This document explains how to detect them, what to do when they occur, and how to reduce their impact.


Why might a device disconnect? #

A device may disconnect due to:

  • No internet connection on the phone.
  • Log out of WhatsApp on your device.
  • Restart or turn off the phone.
  • Network or location changes.
  • WhatsApp security policies.

Disconnections do not always indicate a system error.


How to detect a disconnection #

From WaFloW.ai, you can detect a disconnection when:

  • The device status appears as disconnected.
  • A warning or alert is displayed.
  • The device stops sending or receiving messages.

Checking the status of devices is key to acting quickly.


What to do when a device disconnects #

If a device disconnects:

  1. Access the corresponding subaccount.
  2. Go to the list of devices.
  3. Identify the disconnected device.
  4. Check the reason if it is available.
  5. Reconnect the device if necessary.

In many cases, simply reconnecting your phone or scanning the QR code again will suffice.


Impact of disconnection #

When a device disconnects:

  • That number will no longer send or receive messages.
