What does this app do?

Push Notification Fixer (PNF) changes the heartbeat-interval numbers. The heartbeat interval it's a mechanism of android that keeps the push connection alive by sending a little network packet at specified intervals. PNF simply updates that interval numbers. By maintaining the push-connection active (for example every 5 minutes), push notifications will arrive on your device instantly.

Simply install the app then accept root permissions and tweak two settings; in the app tap on 'Mobile heartbeat interval' and set it to six minutes, then tap on 'Wi-Fi heartbeat interval' and set it to five minutes.

After choosing the interval timing, select apply. In the end a reboot is required. That's it; you should now receive WhatsApp notifications instantly.
