Device memory
No matter how capacious the device’s memory is, over time it can become filled with unnecessary data, including from WhatsApp. This results in the device refusing to send or download received media data, for example, videos are not sent to WhatsApp. You need to clear your memory regularly by deleting unnecessary content. Most often, special background programs are installed for this purpose, destroying temporary files.
The remaining files must be deleted manually:
- Turn on the device.
- Go to the "Settings" section.
- Find the “Memory” and go to the list of actions.
- Select clear.
Recommendation! If the device’s gallery is filled with photos and videos, you will have to manually review the contents. Delete what is unnecessary and move important data to cloud storage (for example, Google Drive).
How to submit a video to recommendations?
Users of the TikTok app often think about this question. Of course, every TikToker wants to have a large audience and a million likes. But how to do that? Many people think that the answer to this question can be found on the Internet. But the algorithms for getting into the recommendations are not disclosed. And the reason some videos are popular is that people are interested in them.
Two options for getting into recommendations
First. Make quality content and follow trends. It's sad, but original and unusual videos rarely make it to the top. The interaction between the user and subscribers is important. A TikTok user needs to be able to interest the audience. This can be done by holding competitions, posting those videos that require two parts.
Second. Often recently registered users come across old videos in recommendations that have a large number of likes. Another reason a video gets to the top is the number of likes. Many promotion services have already added TikTok to their functionality. This is Tokker, Likemania.
We hope that after reading this fragment of the article, more users will be included in the recommendations.
Data warehouses
Removable media like an SD card are designed to increase memory capacity to store more data. But incorrect settings or media malfunctions lead to WhatsApp not sending photos or other problems with media content.
Card diagnostics are performed by checking the device connection through the smartphone menu: Settings - memory - SD card . If the card is displayed, but the data on it is unreadable, you need to disconnect it, remove it and try to install it again or replace it with a new one. In the latter case, files may be lost.
Poor Internet connection
A weak signal or complete loss of Internet connection is the most common reason why WhatsApp does not send photos. Methods to solve the problem are different and depend on where you are and what Internet you use.
First, try disconnecting and reconnecting the Wi-Fi network on your device.
Then reboot your router. To do this, you usually need to turn it off, wait 30 seconds and turn it on again.
If you are in a public place, then go to a place where the signal strength will be better, or go to another place where there is also a wireless network.
To check your Internet connection, open any browser and try to go to a website. Or go to another messenger. If the web page loads or you can read new messages, then your wireless network is fine.
Connection speed
Both mobile and provider Internet are important for connection speed. If it is low, then the media data will not be loaded well or the broadcast will be intermittent. You won’t be able to improve Internet speed on your own; you will need the assistance of your provider or mobile operator. If the quality of traffic leaves much to be desired, it is better to postpone processing photos and videos until the high-speed connection is restored.
Virus attack
A gadget infected with viruses may refuse to play images and videos. The data is not sent completely and may disappear from the device’s memory altogether. Antivirus software will help identify malware and eliminate it. You can find free and effective options on the AppStore and Google Market. Only after a deep scan of the device is it recommended to resume working with media content.
We hope this review of the reasons why the messenger does not send messages will help you remove all errors on your device and organize sending and receiving media data.
WHY NOT SENDING VIDEOS TO WHATSAPP
WhatsApp is a convenient application that allows you to exchange instant messages and send multimedia files to subscribers. But there are situations when the video is not sent to WhatsApp, and every next attempt fails. Our portal will tell you what to do!
Videos made by yourself or downloaded from the Internet are an excellent tool for cheering up your friends. Even if the subscriber is on the other side of the globe, you can send him all sorts of “useful things” through this program in a few seconds. The main thing is that WhatsApp is installed on a smartphone or tablet, and there is enough space for it to function fully.
Uploading a video is a process consisting of 5 simple steps:
- Launch the program.
- Open a chat with the person you are interested in.
- At the top of the screen, find the icon in the form of a paper clip, click on it.
- In the smartphone Gallery (will open automatically), you need to select the appropriate file.
- Submit a video.
If the transfer does not start automatically, nothing happens on the screen at all, we are looking for the problem why WhatsApp does not send the video.
Access permission
You yourself, a virus or a software glitch could be the reason why certain prohibitions were established for WhatsApp. For example, memory or network usage.
Go to the list of all applications on your device and find WhatsApp in it.
Next, scroll to the “Permissions” item: it may be clickable, or maybe not. So, if you have a clickable item, click on it and check in the list that the messenger has access to the camera and memory.
If your device has a good Wi-Fi level and you are wondering why WhatsApp does not send photos, then you need to check whether data transfer via Wi-Fi is prohibited for the messenger.
By the way, in this case, all other social networks and the browser will work perfectly.
The following points will differ depending on the phone model. What you need to do: go to the settings and find the “Traffic Manager” item there or something similar.
Then make sure that both “Data Transfer” and “Wi-Fi” access are allowed for WhatsApp.
One more thing. If the messenger has restrictions, it may inform you about this when you start using it. Such windows can only stop appearing when you tick the “Don’t remind me again” checkbox.
Reasons for blocking file transfers
The application can only send videos whose size does not exceed 16 MB. In modern devices, the duration of such a video is from 1.5 to 3 minutes. It all depends on the format and quality. The program will offer to trim the video before sending, confirm your consent, then the operation will be completed successfully. In this case, the recipient will only see the saved piece, its first minutes.
If a user asks the question “why can’t I send a video via WhatsApp”, there are several answers:
- Check your Internet connection—an unstable network with frequent interruptions and disconnections, or speed limits are preventing you from sending. This problem should occur in all applications .
- Not enough space, phone memory or flash card is full. Go to the settings (Storage Control section) and estimate the amount of free disk space. If necessary, delete unnecessary files.
- Check the date and time on your smartphone; if it deviates by even one minute, the “smart” technology will block the ability to exchange information.
These manipulations are 99% likely to help solve the problem when WhatsApp does not send photos or videos.
Note! You can send not only files from the Gallery, but also videos shot on the gadget’s camera. To do this, click on the Video button, add a signature or comment to it and click Send. This can be done directly during the transfer process.
How to send a video from Tik Tok to WhatsApp with a link?

WhatsApp cannot send video: the reason is in the SD card
Very often the cause of the problem lies in the flash card. The file transfer failure is explained by:
- incorrect settings;
- mechanical or software damage to the drive;
- limited memory capacity.
First, check if the card itself is set to Read Only mode , it blocks sending any files stored on the flash drive. You can play them on a mobile device without losing quality and speed, but you cannot transmit them. If you don’t find this option in the settings, check it by practice, namely, try to send the video through other applications.
After that, delete all unnecessary applications that you have not used for a long time - they just take up useful space . If there is a suspicion that the flash drive is damaged, a radical way to troubleshoot it is to format it. If this doesn’t help, then it’s time to buy a new card.
Attention! This operation will delete all personal data, permanently. It is impossible to cancel a process that has started. Make a backup and save it on another device.

Don't rush to the service center
Knowing the main reasons why video is not sent to WhatsApp, you can easily troubleshoot the problem, trim the file to the desired size, compress it and send it to the subscriber.
