Does your WhatsApp on web stuck on loading? The ability to use the WhatsApp directly on the web browser has elevated the ease of user experience by manifolds. If you are a long time user of the WhatsApp on Web, you may have faced the webpage stuck on loading for at least once. If you are indeed facing this issue, here are some fixes that we recommend. These will be helpful in troubleshooting the problem.

 

Why WhatsApp on web stuck on loading?

WhatsApp on the web depends on the synchronicity of the Web Client, WhatsApp servers and your phone client. After the recent update, you can start and use the WhatsApp web client, removing the dependency on the WhatsApp client on your phone. But, when you log in to WhatsApp on the web by scanning the QR code on the app, it uses a unique ID to verify your access. Once you are logged in with your account, it stores up this ID so that you don’t have to scan the code every time you log in. If there is some problem in there, WhatsApp on web may take some time to load.

Sometimes, the privacy and safety restrictions of the particular browser can influence this problem. We have mentioned the solution for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge users. Follow the instruction that suits your case and WhatsApp on Web will start working again.
