Are you able to test downloading an image from a different website in Android Webview and see if it is allowed? Typically these browsers are more heavily sandboxed. Example: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_a_download

Yes, I have tried downloading other files. They work fine.

My mom complained this actually, I'll make a PR to fix this later.

My bad, I got it wrong, other messaging apps like Telegram work fine. It is the problem of Zalo (a popular messaging app in my country) trying capture the download and save it in specific location that cause issues. I'll close this.
