WhatsApp not downloading videos

I have a Pixel 2 running on Android 9.

I have tried anything I could find online but none of the proposed solutions worked.

My phone still has a lot of free space (15GB free), my SD is not corrupt and I do have a working internet connection.

 

Interestingly, I can download when I'm on 4G but not on Wi-Fi.  Have tried on several wifi networks but the same problem occurs.

 

My WhatsApp settings allow for automatic download for all kinds of media while on Wi-Fi, so that shouldn't be a problem either.

 

Help, please! Thanks!

@Anonymous 

Try rebooting your wifi router, then your phone. Often solves a few issues

 

Best of luck and welcome to the forum Welcome

@Anonymous are all the WiFi connections you've tried from the same provider? 

Some of them have built in filters to prevent access to certain categories so worth checking the router options for any child safe settings if you can.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.
