iOS 11 seems to have been born with terrible luck, and is that the problems occur and not only with regard to the internal management of the software that moves the most popular phone in the world. The reality is that developers are finding serious problems adapting their systems and applications to the new operating system of the Cupertino company despite the few changes made.
So much so that many users are demanding problems when receiving notifications, both on the iPhone and on the Apple Watch through the WhatsApp application. The umpteenth problem of iOS 11 that does not finish leaving an error loop.
We could say that it is already official, since the development team of WhatsApp answers this when asking about notifications with iOS 11 and the commented problems:
Due to a bug in the iOS 11 operating system, push notifications will not appear if you force close WhatsApp. We recommend that you do not force close WhatsApp to ensure that push notifications work properly.
By forcing the closure we refer to the fact of entering the application switcher (multitasking) and sliding the WhatsApp application from the bottom up, in this way the application is completely closed. There is a false belief that doing this saves battery, but nothing is further from the truth. Not only do we use more battery, but now we also disable the push function of WhatsApp, so we would stop receiving notifications completely, neither on the iPhone nor on the Apple Watch. This is how from WhatsApp they blame iOS 11 for this problem that we do not know if it will be solved at some point. Although to be honest, perhaps now the applications are completely closed when doing this, and it could mean that it begins to save battery with it, while we still have no official response.
On what do you base to say that more battery is used?
On the advice of Apple itself

If the problem of push notifications occurs only on WhatsApp, which, to be honest, does not stand out for being the best messaging app but rather one that has recurring failures, it is to be thought that the problem is not the operating system but WhatsApp.

It is not only WhatsApp. No app receives notifications when it is in the background as of iOS 11, but it is not a "new feature" (so rare for a couple of years), no. It is one more in the almost infinite list of bugs of iOS 11.
you are freaking out. I have ios 11.0.3 and although I close the multitasking application I still receive the push from whasap and other applications without problems. seriously people check the config of your devices or restore them …….
You will receive them because I do not receive notifications with the fucking IOS11.0.3
When closing the applications in iOS 11.0.3 I get push notifications =. The only thing that fails me is WhatsApp, which ends up notifying me with a delay (between 5 minutes and 1 hour late). Turning off the mobile and turning it back on solves the failure, but it is a matter of one or two weeks before it fails again, solving it in the same way until they fix this.
Just like all of you, I also have that bug, I hope they fix it soon 🙁
Hello, I have an iphone 4g to which I cannot download whatsapp !! What I can do? help
Use jailbreak, look for your version, or simply buy another that that iPhone is already more than dead
I just bought an Iphone X and I also have problems with the reception of WhatsApp, but what I have noticed is that it fails when it is on 4G; if I'm on WiFi from somewhere, if I get it quickly.
It happens exactly the same.
The same thing happens to me, the messages take time to enter my iPhone 11, they take between 1 min and an hour. When I bring the phone on standby
