WhatsApp is down in Panama! It's impossible to send photos and documents.

Users across Panama have reported issues sending images, voice notes, videos, and documents through the messaging app WhatsApp. Although text messages seem to be working relatively normally in some cases, media files are experiencing continuous loading failures.

​What is happening with WhatsApp in Panama?

​According to reports on social media and monitoring platforms like Downdetector, the outage began registering progressively across various provinces in the country.

​The main symptoms of the problem include:

​Stuck files: The clock icon or loading bar freezes when attempting to send photos or PDFs.

​Error message: "Failed to send file. Try again later."

​WhatsApp Web glitches: When trying to attach documents from a computer, the connection drops.

​So far, Meta has not issued an official statement, but everything indicates that this is a partial outage in the content delivery network (CDN) servers that manage the platform's media traffic in the region.

​Alternatives for sending documents and photos while service is restored

​If you need to urgently send work or information within Panama, we recommend temporarily using these tools:

​Telegram: The app is working completely normally for sending large files.

​Google Drive / WeTransfer: Upload your document to the cloud and share just the link.

​Email (Gmail / Outlook): Ideal for sending PDFs and photos without losing quality.

​Signal: A secure alternative instant messaging option.

​When will the issue be fixed?

​Generally, these types of Meta server incidents are resolved within 30 minutes to 2 hours. It is recommended not to uninstall the application or clear your data, as the problem is external to your device and internet connection.
