WhatsApp filetransfer not working

saimsaiyed · ‎01-05-2015

Hi All,

I want to allow WhatsApp and WhatsApp file transfer through application control, I blocked all categories under Application control and under application overrides allowed DNS,WhatsApp and Whatsapp_File.Transfer, I am able to send text messages but not able to send images. Any idea?

Hi,

Even after allowing the WhatsApp on the application control, file transfering is not possible. Searching through log files I could identify that file transfer is being blocked on Webfilter profiles under the categories of Instant Messaging.

You could either allow this category or just create a url filter allowing the domain *whatsapp.net on the profile you are using in the policy.

That worked for me.

Best Regards

im trying your suggestion @arturoleala add to ip4 policy, and put this policy before filter policy.

for now its oke, hopefully no complain from users today.

thank you

I have EVERYTING possible allowed/exempted, ports, URLs, applications.

Yet all my users complain that audio messages are not possible, as are media (pictures)

I do NOT use deep inspection (just certificate inspection)
