Whatsapp notification strange pattern. Is that normal?

Hello, 

One thing I noticed today  with my F7Pro Sapphire is that when someone is texting me on Whatsapp and is sending a few messages one by one I will receive notification for the 1st one, then won't receive the 2nd one, then when he sends the 3rd one I will receive 2nd and 3rd together, then won't get 4th but will receive 4th and 5th when he sends the 5th one. I hope it makes sense. 

I'm using Samsung s24 ultra if that makes any difference

My wife has a F7Pro and She experiences exactly the same thing ( with a Samsung phone as well)

Is this normal behaviour or should I try to do something to get it fixed?

Thanks

    thank you for your reoly, but i don't fully understand this answer. could you please detail it more ? if it was such a "general" issue all Garmin owners should experience it, but in reality it is not. am i wrong? what makes me "special" to encounter this whatsapp behaviour? thank you

    This is something that has been reported to Garmin a number of times. So this does effect most who use WhatsApp. But as mentioned this may occur, but may not occur every time. This was found to be related to the way the phone's OS handles the messages from WhatsApp. So unfortunately not something that Garmin can resolve with the Connect app or watch software changes.

    To be honest, this is really strange, because both my colleague and I did not have this problem before we switched to F7 Pro. He had an Epix 2 and I had an F7, both with Samsung S24 ultra. Now, with the F7 Pro we both experience the problem. If it was something that only depended on the OS of the phone we should have also experienced the problem with previous Garmins, but this is not the case.
