    It is working great on Android though. On my iPhone it cannot connect.

    AWESOMEE!!! I can confirm that changing the APN on the iPhone via the link posted by WorldIRC actually solves the problem. I changed the APN on Iphone via that link and whatsapp connected right away. I then exited the application manually but pressing home button twice and reopened whatsapp again and it connected quickly. Problem solved!

    Thanks WorldIRC.

    just did it. At first it didn't work. Installed it again the second time pda.bell and now it works smoothly. Thanks WorldIRC.

    That did it! Thanks WorldIRC 👍. Btw, what does changing the APN actually do?

    pda.bell.ca is the best / easiest / most versatile of the 3 APN's that Bell uses. Depending on how the Bell provider customization is, this could be causing an issue. By changing the APN using the method I've provided, you are overriding any default APN configuration provided by Bell (with regards to internet usage).

    For me I dont have to keep changing the APN. Once it is there, its there. And whatsapp is now working perfectly fine for me.

    I'm just wondering that after u guys installed the app, have u guys had these issues reoccur. Seems like i'm going to have to reinstall the app. It just seems that it takes awhile before i can connect.

    Thanks

    Seriously I'm having no problems whatsoever even after killing the app or restating the iPhone. Works perfectly fine!

    same here but at least it connects now sometimes although very slow at times. I just leave it connected all day to save myself the hassle.
