本教程解释了为什么WhatsApp文本显示“等待此消息”以及揭示错误背后内容的四种方法。
在开始故障排除之前，请确保您的 Internet 连接正常工作。访问网页或检查您是否可以向您的联系人发送WhatsApp消息。(WhatsApp)如果您的蜂窝或移动数据连接速度较慢(cellular or mobile data connection is slow)，请切换到 Wi-Fi 连接。如果您的 Wi-Fi 连接有问题，请联系您的互联网提供商或使用蜂窝数据。
为什么WhatsApp 显示“(WhatsApp Displaying “)等待此消息”？
WhatsApp会加密您发送和接收的消息，以便第三方无法远程监控您的对话。这是使 WhatsApp 安全(features that make WhatsApp secure)的众多功能之一。消息加密过程的中断将触发WhatsApp隐藏“等待此消息”后面的文本。可能还要等一下。” 占位符。
当有人给您发短信时，WhatsApp会先在发件人的手机上对消息进行加密，然后再将其发送给您。消息加密发生得很快（以毫秒为单位），但某些因素可能会中断或延迟操作。例如，如果WhatsApp无法完全加密发件人手机上的新消息，您可能不会收到文本。如果这样做，您将无法看到文本的内容。
相反，WhatsApp显示“等待此消息。可能还要等一下。” “等待这个消息。检查你的手机”是错误的另一种变体。
您收到此错误是因为WhatsApp尚未完全加密发件人端的消息，或者因为解密对方发送的消息时出现问题。我们将在下一节重点介绍其他可能导致错误的原因。
什么导致“等待(Waiting)此消息”错误？
有几件事可以触发此消息。
- 如果发件人在应用程序加密消息之前强制关闭WhatsApp，您可能会看到此错误消息。
- 如果您（或发件人）正在运行过时或不同版本的WhatsApp ，您可能会收到此错误。
- 此外，如果您或发件人最近更换了手机或删除并重新安装了WhatsApp ，您可能会收到此错误。
- 服务器(Server)停机时间是另一个可能中断 WhatsApp 消息加密过程的因素。
如何在Android和 iOS上修复“(Fix “)等待此消息(Message)”
无法“修复”此错误消息，因为您的手机或发件人的手机上没有任何问题。所以这本身不是一个错误。相反，WhatsApp告诉您在任一设备上加密或解密消息时都会出现暂时的延迟。
我们将向您展示加速端到端加密的四种方法，以便您可以查看隐藏在“等待此消息”占位符后面的文本。
1. 等一下
如前所述，如果发件人强制关闭WhatsApp ， WhatsApp可能会显示此错误。因此，您可能必须等到该人在其设备上重新打开WhatsApp才能查看隐藏的消息。如果情况紧急，请通过电话、短信(SMS)、iMessage 等其他方式联系发件人，并要求他们打开WhatsApp。
2. 检查 WhatsApp 服务器状态
如果即时通讯服务器的某些部分出现中断， WhatsApp(WhatsApp)的加密引擎可能会出现故障。如果您在等待期间没有任何变化，请在DownDetector或IsItDownRightNow等站点监控平台上检查WhatsApp服务器的状态。

How to Fix Waiting for This Message Error on WhatsApp
This tutorial explains why WhatsApp texts display “Waiting for this message” and four ways to reveal the content behind the error.
Before you begin troubleshooting, make sure your internet connection is working correctly. Visit a webpage or check if you can send WhatsApp messages to your contacts. Switch to a Wi-Fi connection if your cellular or mobile data connection is slow. If your Wi-Fi connection is the problem, contact your internet provider or use cellular data.
Why Is WhatsApp Displaying “Waiting for This Message”?
WhatsApp encrypts messages you send and receive so that third parties can’t monitor your conversations remotely. It’s one of the many features that make WhatsApp secure. A disruption of the message encryption process will trigger WhatsApp to hide texts behind the “Waiting for this message. This may take a while.” placeholder.
When someone texts you, WhatsApp encrypts the message on the sender’s phone before delivering it to you. Message encryption happens quickly—in milliseconds—but certain factors can interrupt or delay the operation. For example, if WhatsApp cannot fully encrypt new messages on the sender’s phone, you may not receive the text. If you do, you won’t be able to see the content of the text(s).
Instead, WhatsApp displays “Waiting for this message. This may take a while.” “Waiting for this message. Check your phone” is another variant of the error.
You’re getting this error because WhatsApp has yet to encrypt the message on the sender’s end fully or because there’s a problem decrypting the message sent by the other party. We highlight other possible causes of the error in the next section.
What Causes the “Waiting For This Messages” Error?
Several things can trigger this message.
- If the sender force closes WhatsApp before the app encrypts the message, you may see this error message.
- You may get this error if you (or the sender) are running outdated or different versions of WhatsApp.
- Additionally, you may get this error if you or the sender recently changed phones or deleted and reinstalled WhatsApp.
- Server downtime is another factor that could interrupt WhatsApp’s message encryption process.
How to Fix “Waiting for This Message” on Android and iOS
There’s no way to “fix” this error message because there’s nothing broken on your phone or the sender’s phone. So it’s not an error per se. Instead, WhatsApp is telling you that there’s a temporary delay in encrypting or decrypting the message on either device.
We’ll show you four ways to expedite the end-to-end encryption so that you can view text hidden behind the “Waiting for this message” placeholder.
1. Wait It Out
As mentioned earlier, WhatsApp may display this error if the sender force-closes WhatsApp. Therefore, you may have to wait until the person reopens WhatsApp on their device to view the hidden message. If it’s urgent, contact the sender via alternative methods—phone calls, SMS, iMessage, etc.—and ask them to open WhatsApp.
2. Check WhatsApp Server Status
WhatsApp’s encryption engine may malfunction if some parts of the instant messenger’s server are experiencing an outage. If nothing changes while you wait, check the status of WhatsApp servers on site-monitoring platforms like DownDetector or IsItDownRightNow.
If these websites report a server downtime, you might have to wait a little longer until WhatsApp fixes the problem.
3. Update WhatsApp
You may get this error message if you and the sender are using different versions of WhatsApp on your devices. It could also be due to a bug in the WhatsApp versions you’re both using.
Open your device’s app store and make sure you have the latest version of WhatsApp.
If you’re using an Android device, head to WhatsApp’s page on the Google Play Store and tap Update.
For iPhone users, search for WhatsApp on the App Store and tap Update on the app info page.
If you’re using the latest WhatsApp version and the problem persists, ask the sender to update WhatsApp on their device.
4. Reinstall or Clear WhatsApp Data
If you’re getting this error on different texts in multiple conversations, there’s likely a problem with WhatsApp on your device. Before reinstalling WhatsApp, however, make sure you and the sender are running the latest version of WhatsApp.
Deleting WhatsApp or uninstalling the app will clear the app’s data—chats and media files. Hence, make sure you back up WhatsApp data to Google Drive or iCloud before deleting the app.
Clear WhatsApp Data on iOS
After backing up your chats, press and hold the WhatsApp icon on your iPhone’s Home Screen and tap Remove App. Tap Delete App on the confirmation prompt to proceed.
Alternatively, press and hold WhatsApp in the App Library, tap Delete App, and tap Delete on the prompt.
Wait for a minute and reinstall WhatsApp from the App Store. Tap this link or open the App Store, search for WhatsApp and redownload the app.
Clear WhatsApp Data on Android
On Android phones, you can clear WhatsApp data from the Settings menu instead of uninstalling the app.
- Long-press the WhatsApp icon and tap the info icon.
Alternatively, go to Settings > App & notifications > App info (or See All Apps) and tap WhatsApp.
- Select Storage & cache.
- Tap the Clear Storage icon and select OK on the confirmation prompt.
That will unlink your WhatsApp account from the app and remove all your conversations. Next, reopen WhatsApp, add and verify your phone number, and restore your chat backup. Afterward, check if you can view the text hidden behind the “Waiting for this message.” placeholder.
Contact WhatsApp Support
Before reaching out to WhatsApp Support, convince the sender to try these troubleshooting fixes on their devices. Better yet, ask them to resend the text. Finally, contact WhatsApp Support if WhatsApp keeps displaying the error message on your device.
