Having trouble downloading media on WhatsApp? You are Not Alone!

Are you experiencing one of those days when your WhatsApp refuses to let you download that amusing meme or crucial video? You’re not alone, and the reason for it is pretty strange!

Millions of WhatsApp users in Pakistan have recently been frustrated by an unexpected malfunction preventing them from downloading media files over mobile internet. Imagine attempting to save a photo or video only to be confronted with the dreaded “Could not download the document, Try again” message.

Is it a technical glitch or something more?

This is where things become even more mysterious. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has responded, dismissing the problem as a technical error. However, this has occurred before. There have been recent internet outages due to broken fiber optic connections and brief social media bans during critical events. Could this be another fallout from the disruptions? No one has the answer. Some unofficial reports lead it to someway related to the firewall being installed in Pakistan.

Aftershocks of recent internet outages in Pakistan

What makes this even more incredible is how even a minor error can have ripples in the digital lives of millions. With more than 52.3  million WhatsApp users in Pakistan alone, the scope of this problem is nothing short of massive. Multiple online businesses, media agencies, retail outlets and all digital connectivity holders are going through a critical patch with some facing revenue loss as well.

 

So, if you’re experiencing these troubles, consider postponing downloading those files for a while or switching to Wi-Fi. This digital mystery is evolving, and who knows what unexpected turns await?
