Check your internet connection and make sure you have a steady Wi-Fi or mobile data link if you're having trouble connecting to WhatsApp. Changing connections could be beneficial. You can also fix errors and refresh your network connection by simply restarting your phone or turning on and off Airplane mode.
Make sure you're running the most recent version of WhatsApp to avoid app-related issues, as older versions might have messaging-related bugs. On Android, go to Settings > Apps & notifications > WhatsApp > Force stop; on iOS, swipe up to shut down the app entirely. Both methods will force stop and restart the app.
Without affecting your chat history, clearing the WhatsApp cache on an Android device can be helpful. Go to Settings > Apps & notifications > WhatsApp > Storage & cache. Reinstalling WhatsApp (after backing up your chat history) may be your only option if problems continue.
WhatsApp may hold messages until the recipient comes online, so if you're having trouble sending a message, make sure the recipient is online. Verify the recipient's phone number to make sure there are no misunderstandings.
For additional troubleshooting, you can report the issue to WhatsApp support if none of the suggested fixes work. Trying these steps in order can help identify the root cause and fix the "Pending..." message issue. Keep in mind that the specific cause of the problem may determine the most effective solution.
