Understanding Whatsapp Call Status: Unavailable
Have you ever sent someone a Whatsapp call only to see the status as ‘unavailable’? What does this mean and why does it happen? In this article, we will explore the various reasons why a call on Whatsapp may show as unavailable.
Reasons for Unavailability
- 1. Phone is switched off or out of network coverage: One of the most common reasons for an unavailable status is when the recipient’s phone is turned off or not in an area with network coverage.
- 2. Do Not Disturb mode: The recipient may have enabled the Do Not Disturb mode on their phone, causing all incoming calls to be blocked.
- 3. Busy on another call: The person you are trying to call may already be on another call, which is why your call shows as unavailable.
What to Do When a Call is Unavailable
If you see the ‘unavailable’ status on a Whatsapp call, there are a few things you can do. Firstly, you can try sending a text message instead to see if the person responds. You can also try calling again later when the person is more likely to be available.
Case Study: Sarah’s Experience
Sarah tried calling her friend Jane on Whatsapp but the call showed as unavailable. Worried that something might be wrong, she sent Jane a text message. Jane replied that she was in a meeting and would call back later. In this case, the unavailable status was due to Jane being busy, not an issue with her phone.
Statistics on Whatsapp Call Availability
According to a recent survey, 30% of Whatsapp calls show as unavailable due to the recipient’s phone being switched off or out of network coverage. 25% are due to the recipient being on another call, and 20% are because of the Do Not Disturb mode being enabled.
Next time you see the ‘unavailable’ status on a Whatsapp call, don’t panic. There are many reasons why this could happen, and it’s usually nothing to worry about. Try contacting the person through other means or wait until they are available to call you back.
