WA-2117

A file received on WhatsApp could not be downloaded

Why it happens

A file the customer sent on WhatsApp could not be downloaded: the link may have expired, the host was not allowed, or the file did not match its checksum.

What to do

Choose “Download the file again” on the message; Meta keeps received files for 30 days. If the file stays unavailable, ask the customer to send it again.
