The Android version of WhatsApp is experiencing a strange bug. Video cannot be sent from some phones. There was no statement from WhatsApp on the subject.
A strange bug has been detected in WhatsApp, the world’s most popular instant messaging application. This bug, which manifests itself in Android versions of the application, prevents users from sending videos. Meta did not make any statement on the issue.
The issue, reported on social media, affects stable and beta versions in the Android ecosystem. Users who try to send videos on phones affected by this bug will receive a warning saying “This video cannot be sent. Select a different video and try again”. The source of the bug and how to fix it is not yet known.
This is how the WhatsApp error looks like:
According to the information obtained, the bug in WhatsApp does not manifest itself on all Android phone brands. For example, tests with devices such as Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Google Pixel 8 Pro showed a video problem. On the other hand; Some phones in the Samsung Galaxy S series are also reported to have a similar problem.
The only thing you can do about the error that affects users, especially in the “v2.24.9.34” coded version of WhatsApp, is to install an older version of WhatsApp. Users who had the problem and switched to an older version report that this problem has been resolved. But don’t forget that downloading WhatsApp from third-party sources is not very safe. If you’re having trouble sending videos, your best bet is to wait for the next update.
