All permissions and notifications on and set to switch between WiFi And WLAN. Tried reinstalling to no avail. Any help please?. Was working recently!
 
Most of the times it has something to do with battery saving settings. Disable all for Whatsapp and make sure you are using the latest MIUI update (from here of the official ones) as the older ones do have a lot of issues with this. There are also apps that keep your internet connection awake, but that drains battery so that should be a last resort.
 
I am running MIUI Global 8.0/Stable
8.0.6.0.0(MBGCNDH). Do you think there is a problem with that?. I am afraid to try any other version of MIUI as I am afraid it might brick my phone. Perhaps you are only referring to the skin itself?
I am an old guy in my seventies but am driven mad until I resolve any issues with a phone.
Any comments or suggestions?
Many thanks for your help.
I cannot get any calls as well on WhatsApp. I must have the app actually turned on and running in the background before I can receive any calls or notifications!

Try this first:

If that doesn't work install the latest beta/developer (note: it does delete everything on your phone!):
http://en.miui.com/download-314.html

Instructions in video format. Use the download above if you have a Mi5S. No need to do scary stuff, if something isn't right the phone will let you know.

/EDIT:
If the updater doesn't work, you can try this way: http://en.miui.com/a-233.html
Do check very carefully if you have the right download as this method CAN ruin your phone!!!

Many thanks for your brilliant reply! The Forbes tip No 5 in your list worked: Become a Developer and then turn off priority or whatever optimization!
What super phones these Xiaomi phones are!
Well done.
Obviously I do not intend to go near the Developer tool again except in a case of grave emergency!

Many thanks Pippolone:I was happy after turning off memory optimization and getting WhatsApp Notifications without having the app opened as I have a son in USA and great for talking to him!.
However I am not happy running the shop/fake ROM as you call it and wonder will it get any OTA updates? Do you know. I am afraid to go trying to install another ROM in case I brick the phone.
Any suggestions!
