Outage-tracking website DownDetector recorded a surge in reports on Monday evening, with complaints peaking at around 6:45 p.m. EDT.

One user wrote, “I can’t send images nor videos.”

Another posted, “Cannot send media. I have another account on Apple and it seems unaffected. So it looks like it is an Android-only issue.”

A third user added, “Cannot send pictures. So I guess multimedia is affected.”

Another commented, “Texts going through but no media.”

One frustrated user wrote, “Won’t let me send stickers or pictures to my bestie :(“

Meta, WhatsApp’s parent company, has not yet responded to the reports or provided a timeline for resolving the issue.
