Unable to share videos on WhatsApp for Android? This pesky bug might be the reason
29.04.2024 - 14:33 / tech.hindustantimes.com
WhatsApp users on Android are facing a frustrating issue with the latest versions of the messaging app, as a bug appears to have crippled the ability to send video files directly from their devices. The problem first came to light through a wave of complaints on Reddit, where users reported difficulties in sending videos via WhatsApp on their Android phones.
Upon attempting to send video files over the past 24 hours, a pesky pop-up message consistently appears, stating: “Can't send this video. Choose a different video and try again.” This message only surfaces after an attempt is made to process the video file within WhatsApp, while other file types, such as photos, remain unaffected, reported9to5google.

According to the sources videos shot or downloaded locally onto Android devices encounter obstacles during the upload process within WhatsApp Messenger. Surprisingly, even videos downloaded from the Instagram app on Android directly to device storage failed to be sent to WhatsApp contacts.
Interestingly, videos shot on iPhones or received from iPhone users within WhatsApp seem to evade this bug. This distinction suggests that the issue is exclusive to Android devices.

While the bug isn't universal across all Android devices, it does seem to affect certain models, including those in the Galaxy S series. The problem may be linked to the latest WhatsApp updates, particularly the v2.24.9.34 version, which our test units were running on. Reports also indicate that the bug is present in the most recent WhatsApp beta update.
As a temporary workaround, users can revert to WhatsApp version 2.24.8.85, which allows them to resume sending video messages. However, the extent of the issue's impact and whether it affects devices randomly remain unclear. As users await a permanent fix, it highlights the importance of regular updates and bug fixes in maintaining the functionality of popular messaging apps like WhatsApp.

Bugged Bug at the Trading Post - Amber Skitterfly Mount Doesn't Exist!
A bug is missing from Dragonflight Season 4, as the Amber Skitterfly mount from Trading Post apparently doesn't exist! Lacking a preview and absent from the collections tabs, purchasing the mount consumes 600 Tender and awards absolutely nothing in return. While it is very likely that Blizzard corrects this bugged bug with either a refund of the Trader's Tender or ideally adding the mount to collection tabs directly, players on the fence about it or simply concerned about their limited stock of traders tender may want to avoid purchasing the mount for the time being.

Unfortunately, that would have been the case if the San Diego chip giant had not allegedly manipulated benchmarks. One report says that the benchmark claims are impossible to recreate for Qualcomm’s partners that will eventually use the Snapdragon X Elite in various notebook models.
