  If you get a WhatsApp message, you should get a 'ringtone' and a
notification in the notification area of your phone, i.e. similar to
what you would get for a SMS/'text' message. So if you don't get these
for WhatsApp messages, you have disabled/silenced these notifications in
some way.

  I said "When I would try to reach you ... WhatsApp would tell me you
don't have WhatsApp", so you get this notification when you actually
*try*, obviously not before.

  It happens when you try to add a new 'Chat' ('+' icon on white and
green background). Because it's a new contact (for WhatsApp), you go to
'New contact' (in *WhatsApp*, *not* in the Contacts app). As soon as you
enter the phone number of the intended contact, WhatsApp will say "This
person is not on WhatsApp". So you either do a 'Invite to WhatsApp' or
in this/Richmond's case, use SMS instead.

  Elementary, dear Watson!
