The only scenario where you can say "I expected longer times" with any certainty is wired LAN where both parties are on the same switched LAN and there was no significant load on either party or the switch.
The moment you're dealing with wireless signals you added so many things into the equation that can mess up your connection that a continuous connection of a half hour that is only being kept alive with the occasional ping is very nice. Depending on the settings if the connection is such that you require more then one ping/keepalive to be lost before it is torn down that may help it, this basically requires you to know what the settings are on the serverside stack of how long it is willing to maintain an idle connection and setting your ping/keepalive to be x times more often then the window where x is a nice balance between the phones' battery usage and keeping the connection alive. With Whatsapp it's really just an "allow this android service to run at startup" as far as I understand things, how/if that exists for Jolla applications I don't know.
