Well has been found that the popular messaging application WhatsApp is currently facing some technical difficulties as of the moment. It has been found that content shared on the popular messenger, content such as videos, pictures and other associated sharing items such as documents cannot be downloaded from the receiver end. The person who receives the said content is not able to download or save the content. Usually, most of us have the download content function on automatic, which means that any content which is shared between you and a particular person or group is automatically downloaded and saved in your gallery in a dedicated, WhatsApp pictures and WhatsApp videos folder, while those who do not have the function set on automatic can simply go on to the chat, click on the picture and manually download the said content.
However, the current problem being faced by Whatsapp users is that nor the pictures are being downloaded and saved in the dedicated folders and nor can you go to the conversation and manually download the said content, when you do go to manually download the content a message is displayed by the messenger which states that the picture cannot be downloaded, please check your connection. So one can say for a fact that the application is undergoing some issues and when it will be back on track is to be seen.
