WhatsApp does not work As it should, in the last few hours a bug has been detected in the application that prevents Android users from sending videos. The bug in WhatsApp has not yet been corrected and, in fact, it has not stopped growing as can be seen by the constant complaints posted by users on r/whatsapp.
The problem seems to affect only Android users, being the main victims of this situation. The situation is not generalized, but everything indicates that it may be a global failure. The affected people find themselves unable to send any type of videoregardless of the duration and when trying they find a warning message.
New bug in WhatsApp on Android: users cannot send videos
What the message contains is a phrase that says “Can’t send this video. Choose a different video and try again” along with a button to accept the situation. In Spanish it would be translated as “This video cannot be sent. Choose a different video and try again” and, of course, no matter how much you change the video, the problem persists.
Although the problem persists, even changing the video, The rest of the means that can be sent via WhatsApp do not seem to be affected. Voice notes, images or documents are processed by the application and sent without problem which means that something is not working with video processing.
is it just me?

The worst thing about this situation is that there is no clear way to identify the mobile phones that may be affected from those that are not. In fact, Not all Android devices are suffering from this problem in WhatsApp and there are some that work correctly without being affected by the error in sending videos.
Of course, it can be ruled out that the problem is generalized to different versions of WhatsApp. The one that presented the problem is v2.24.9.34 So a possible solution to this problem is to uninstall this version of WhatsApp and use an older one like 2.24.8.85.
Before doing anything, it is important to make a backup copy in case you do not have automatic file upload activated because valuable information may be lost. In any case, WhatsApp must offer a response to users regarding this problem that its service is suffering.
