Hi! I see your WhatsApp Messenger app isn’t connecting. Let’s get to the bottom of this together.

First, can you tell me if you’re using mobile data or Wi-Fi? Also, are other apps on your device able to connect to the internet normally? This helps me understand if the problem is specific to WhatsApp or your connection in general.

In the meantime, here are some quick steps you can try to fix the connection issue on your Android 10 device with WebKit:

1. Restart your device: This refreshes your network and system settings.
2. Make sure mobile data or Wi-Fi is turned on and the signal is strong.
3. Toggle Airplane mode (turn it on for about 10 seconds, then off).
4. Disable Data Saver mode if it’s on, as it can restrict app network access.
5. Check if WhatsApp has an update available in the Google Play Store and update it if needed.
6. Try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data to see if one works better.
7. Clear WhatsApp’s cache by going to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Storage > Clear Cache.
8. If you are using data roaming, turn it off temporarily to see if that helps.
9. Finally, check if your device’s operating system is supported and updated.

If none of these steps resolve the problem, I can guide you through some advanced troubleshooting or checking if there’s a server-side issue.

Let me know how it goes and if you’ve already tried any of these!
