I just had a friend call me and they received the notification "user is on another call" (or whatever notification it gives the person) to my friend when in fact I actually wasn't using my phone at all (I was in another room). Has anyone else experienced this before?

IT is weird, whatssap is very popular but this issue is not documented. I have found only two blogs about it. I originally sent a ticket and they told me that it would be a result of my phone was stolen or if I change my device. I told them that I have had the same device for about 2 years. Then, they asked me to send a ticket once the message appears. I got the message yesterday and sent the ticket, but I had not received the answer yet.

I got a better answer from support today. They told me that they are aware about the issue. The thechnicians are working on it and they are planning to debugged the system before the next release. Based on their comments, it is an application issue.

Does whats app say "busy in another call" when you are playing online games or watching videos too? i called a friend and it said "busy in another call" but she insisted that she was playing online games. This kept me thinking.

I was calling my Dad for almost an hour & Whatsapp said "On another call". This started a heated argument with my Mother, but he wasn't on the phone at all. He never talks on the phone for more than 5 minutes!

Hi from my personal experience, my friends used to tell me it shows " on another call" but actually i wouldn't have been in a call at all. Later i realized there was some malware which can hack into WhatsApp and get information. Use an antivirus app it will take care.

WhatsApp is not completely the problem here. Blame Facebook also!
Awhile ago in a age old business tactic to eliminate their competition Facebook purchased WhatsApp to eliminate their competition! And since then WhatsApp has been having a lot of problems. (To many to count)
Facebook is deliberately making it malfunction so users become frustrated with WhatsApp and will return to using Facebook ! Your calls to WhatsApp customer support are not going to get you any positive results.
As a matter of fact. I recently heard that WhatsApp-facebook is shutting down all of their plus accounts. Blaming it on a third party security breech! Lie!
We are seeing the slow death of WhatsApp, at the hands of Facebook !
R.I.P. WhatsApp
And a heads up, you people should not use profanity on Android Pit. If the editors see it they will delete your post!

So regarding your comment in 2016 and its now 2019. Does it really matter if your partner is talkong to another person without your knowledge?
Are you so insecure that you feel she may be cheating on you around every corner.
Even if she was cheating on you. That tells you that your relationship ks broken and its time to move on.
Regarding whatsapp on call notifaction when trying to contact someone
It is still happaning in 2019, which begs the question. What is whatsapp playing at.
Some sort of back door?

I had the same issue, I called my GF, whatsapp said the user is on another call, I messaged her, she called me back just right away, I asked her if she was on another call, she said No. I was so much confused, we are getting marrying, thanks I have found this forum, so other people are having these bug issues too. I am very much relieved now. Whatsapp should fix this issue asap.
