WhatsApp does not download images during call During a WhatsApp call, if I receive a media element from a WhatsApp contact (does not necessarily has to be the person whom I am talking with), the loading icon rotates, but the download of the element never starts.

First I thought it is due to my internet connection, but regardless of my speed, it is the same for LTE+ or WLAN connections.

Is that intentional? How can I solve this problem?

EDIT: This happens only on Android phones. On iPhones, this does not seem to be an issue.
Apparently this is a bug that still exists. However, I found a workaround. Tap on X to stop downloading the media, and tap again to download it.
