Why this isn't a yes or no

This makes a serious claim about a named person or business; we won't label it without strong evidence.

What we can confirm

Multiple sources, including WhatsApp’s own help center and contemporaneous news coverage, indicate that users can encounter problems sending photos in WhatsApp, commonly due to weak internet, permissions, storage, or server-side issues. The claim is broadly supported as a real issue users may experience, though the evidence does not prove a single global outage affecting all users.
