Samsung Galaxy S21: WhatsApp videos have a strange problem

Owners of a Galaxy S21 cell phone may have already noticed: With Android 12, the Samsung smartphone causes problems with WhatsApp videos. These are criss-crossed by unsightly green lines. Some other cell phones are also likely to be affected.

Samsung Galaxy 21 with WhatsApp problems

With every new version of Android, some improvements and innovations come to the smartphones. But sometimes problems arise that weren't there before. This is currently happening with Android 12. Some owners of a Galaxy S21 report that videos on WhatsApp on their Samsung mobile phone show horizontal green lines . The problem probably also occurs with the Ultra version of the Galaxy S21.

It has not yet been clarified in detail how the video problems with WhatsApp come about. Other messengers do not appear to be affected. The difficulties did not yet exist under Android 11. It is speculated that the combination of the Exynos processor, Android 12 and WhatsApp is responsible for the problems. This is countered by the fact that some owners of OnePlus and Google smartphones also report green lines in videos (source: Reddit).

What is certain is that WhatsApp uses a more aggressive compression of video files on Android 12. If this is the problem, then the problem could be solved quickly with a software update.

WhatsApp videos on the Galaxy S21: Small workaround helps

Until an official update is available, a workaround can be used to send videos without green lines. To do this, the video must be sent uncompressed . WhatsApp offers an indirect solution for this, where the video is sent as a "document". After tapping the small gray paper clip, select "Documents" and then select the video.
