Although WhatsApp is one of the most frequently used instant messaging applications and one of the least likely to cause problems, that does not mean that it is infallible. In recent times, quite a few users have encountered a recurring failure, and they want to know what does the message 'Starting, please wait a moment' mean in WhatsApp
This screen usually appears when you are configuring the application for the first time on a new mobileUsers have reported that the application permanently shows this message when entering their user data while WhatsApp tries to recover previous contacts and chats saved in the cloud.
This can happen due to a connection problem on the part of the user (it is always advisable to check if the connection is Wi-Fi or via data is stable enough). There is also the possibility that it is a problem with the installed version of WhatsApp itself, so you would have to install an APK with a previous version while waiting for the problem to be solved in the following versions of the application. If it is a problem of this type, WhatsApp usually does not take long to release an update to the Google Play Store and the App Store.
