Our experience:
For WhatsApp integration we use:
Samsung A3 (2016)
iPhone 4s
Results:
These devices work stably. 5-6 disconnection episodes may happen during the day, but connection restores within 15-20 seconds automatically. We recommend using 3G connection (if it works stably in your location). The frequency of disconnection is much lower compared to Wi-Fi.

Get alert: “The connection with WhatsApp has been lost…”?
This alert warns about that the integration with a WhatsApp has been interrupted.
WhatsApp integration restores usual in 20-30 seconds automatically.
After this the notification “The connection with WhatsApp has been restored…” will pop-up.
If the connection is still lost then:
Send a message from another WhatsApp account to the one connected to Blinger. If the connection is still lost (disconnection message keeps popping up) proceed with the next step.
Open WhatsApp on the smartphone used for the integration and try to edit “Menu” settings to be sure the app works properly. If the connection is still lost (disconnection message keeps popping up) proceed with the next step.
Log in to Blinger system through an admin-account, click “Apps” and delete WhatsApp channel. Open WhatsApp on the smartphone and click “Log out from all devices”. Follow the link 👉 “WhatsApp - step 4” to repeat WhatsApp integration.

Sure. It’s a good solution when one smartphone is for integration and another one - for business.
