Media host

[dephea]

Could anyone please clarify how am I supposed to use Media-host. I'm running a container an I tunneled a ngrok tcp connection and the ngrok forwards to the 443 port. However in the Whatsapp applcation I can only use the external port from the Ngrok and I don't understand how am I supposed to use the media port (if there is any)

Hi @dephea! In the application, you can customize the media port. You can see instructions at https://faq.whatsapp.com/520504143274092/?cms_platform=android.

Hello! Thank you, I managed to resolve the issue, the thing was that the whatsapp application only allows to use one IP for chat and media. That's why I had to host both on the same hostname.

The other problem I encountered is that media proxy works rather unstable. Works off and on using the same device. Also might work on one device and not work on the other, at the same time. Perphaps you could help me understand the issue? Is there any possible way to fix it?

When using Android, both text and media can be sent successfully through the same proxy server. However, on iPhone, only text messages can be sent, while media fails to deliver. In the case of the older version of iOS WhatsApp, both text and media functions operate smoothly. Upon updating iOS WhatsApp, the functionality is reduced to text-only transmissions.

if any error

Today, the iOS version of WhatsApp upgraded to 2.24.16.75, seemingly enabling the transmission of media files.
