Hi All
As soon as phone is locked, gets into standby, it appears the wifi connection stops.
I do not receive any whatsapp message until the phone is in standby. As soon as I unlock the phone, the connection starts working and I receive all the messages.

If I connect to mobile data, there is no problem. The message is received as soon as it comes, even if the phone is standby.

Anyone facing this issue?

Yes, I have done so.

- Reset Network Settings

- Delete wifi network, re-joined.

- Checked on other Wifi

 

As I said, it doesn't happen if I am connected to Mobile data network. Looks like, the phone is making the wifi sleep intermittently during standby.

I use whatsapp web, and I can see my whatsapp web lose signal every now and then whenever I am on wifi network.

I have contacted Samsung customer support, it looks like it is a bug. There is no option to keep wifi ON during phone sleep anymore. Apparently this option is there in few models but not in M31, hence the problem.

when I use 2.4ghz band wifi then it works fine. However, the problem comes if I use 5 ghz band wifi (which is latest).

Not sure if Samsung tested 5Ghz wifi.
I am forced to use 2.4 ghz band now in order to avoid this issue.
