Exact same issue and since I don't want unencrypted backups of all my chats I've solved it by just disabling backups for now. Would rather lose a few chats tbh.

I use to fix this issue by going in recovery mode and clear the cache. They removed that function a while ago.



It's not a new issue, I've live with that with note 3, s8, s21, s23 etc

I have definitely noticed an issue with my battery draining faster. But one huge issue i have noticed is my data usage. I have a 5gb package and never needed to buy extra. Now the 5gb is finished within the first week of the month

I’m facing the same issue on S25 ultra.The main problem started after the software update WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business backups were both stuck. Reinstalling WhatsApp resolved the issue, but WhatsApp Business is still showing an installation error.

Solution: Reinstall WhatsApp and turn off Always On Display. This should also resolve the battery-draining issue.

I got so frustrated with my S24U battery life as of late that I switched to my Pixel 10.

My base s24 has had battery issues too. This kind of stuff is getting really annoying.

I had the same issue and was worried too, but I've noticed the problem isn't with the phone; it's actually with WhatsApp.

This a very old problem with Galaxy devices. I remember having a battery draining issue with the Galaxy S5 and uninstalling WhatsApp fixed it. That's when they had Touchwiz and as I was starting to read I was thinking about it and when I see it's again WhatsApp I lost it.

-S24.

Samsung's continued deletion of user features and options coupled with reoccurring software upgrade issues are the main reasons why the S24 Ultra will be my last Samsung device.
