WhatsApp facing issues on Android phones while sending videos

WhatsApp is the most popular instant messaging app in the world, which means billions of people depend on it in their daily lives. Even a single issue can cause problems for millions of people. One such WhatsApp issue has surfaced recently, and several users are complaining about it online.

There are growing complaints from WhatsApp users that they are facing issues while sending videos. The folks at 9To5Google faced the same issue while trying to replicate the problem on Galaxy S series phones. When you try to send a video, WhatsApp throws an error that says, “Can't send this video. Choose a different video and try again.” This issue appeared in the latest version (v2.24.9.34) of WhatsApp.

Another annoying thing about this issue is that this error appears after processing the whole video. It means you spend more time and still fail to send videos. This issue doesn't appear while sending photos or other file types. It appears that videos shot or downloaded locally are facing this issue.

However, not all Android smartphones are facing this issue. A temporary solution is to downgrade to an older version of WhatsApp, and testing has revealed that the issue doesn't appear on it.
