WhatsApp photos not sending became a Monday problem for users trying to move images and messages through the app. More than 400 reports had piled up on Downdetector by the time the issue drew wider attention.
About 70 percent of the complaints were about sending messages, not photos. A few Users of WhatsApp also said they could not access the app.
WhatsApp and Downdetector
The reported issues began around 4 p.m., which gives the disruption a narrow start point and helps separate it from a longer-running service problem. Downdetector’s count also shows this was not just an isolated failed upload.
Google searches for “Whatsapp not sending images” and “Whatsapp not sending photos” were trending, which is the clearest sign that users were trying to work around a stuck send button before the issue was explained. That split between photo complaints and message complaints matters because the headline symptom was not the whole story.
More than 400 reports
The volume of reports crossed more than 400, and that is enough to show a broad service hiccup rather than a single-device glitch. Users of WhatsApp who were seeing failed sends or a frozen app had no service-side workaround inside the information available here.
There was no timetable for when the issues would be resolved. For now, the practical reading is simple: if WhatsApp photos are not sending, the problem is appearing alongside message failures and access problems, and the only clear signal from the report stream is that the disruption is still active.
4 p.m. start time
The one detail that still matters most is the start time. An issue that begins around 4 p.m. and keeps drawing reports into Monday suggests a live service problem, not a brief one-off error that has already cleared.
