Hi Phil , hope you and Jessica are keeping well. Currently I use a Samsung galaxy A14 which copes very well with WhatsApp, and previously had the A32, also works well. Hope that helps. 😎

I bought a Ulefone Note 7P, an unlocked Android available from Amazon, it is Chinese and not brilliantly fast, but cheap at less than £80.
I've had it three years now, and late last summer I had to replace the battery as it became unreliable - running down from 100% to 50% pretty much as I'd expect - then dropping from 50% to 0% in seconds (the replacement battery was about £13 from ebay),
I've no hesitation in recommending this phone or perhaps later models, some of which come with better processors and massive 4400mAmp capacity batteries.
I use WhatsApp/Tapatalk/FaceBook/Messenger successfully on it.

Thank you for taking the time to write this up, I will certainly look into this.
