Why WiFi disconnect after few minutes? This will not happen in Android

It is a power-saving feature which is why, as razmee209 explains, it won't happen if the phone is plugged in.


You can always let Apple know the kind of changes you'd like to see here:

Who cares if it doesn't happen to an Android you're using an iphone, if you want to stay connected to wifi then plug your phone into a power source otherwise enabled cellular data on your phone.

That is normal, your issue is with cellular data, since you're not getting your whatsapp calls. Talk to your cellualr data provider.
