You could possibly be out of memory. Can you see the internal SD card available memory with a file Explorer app?

Provide further information requested above and let's see how we can get you to like the device from here on out.

I know you are using an android device but you didn't say which one.

Hi I have almost the same problem

I have an HTC One V (no SD card, but plenty of internal memory available). I can take pictures, but when I take a screenshot or whenever I try to send anything via whatsapp or download any picture/video/audio file that my whatsapp contacts send me it says:

"Cannot download because no SD card is available. Please insert your SD card or unmount it as a disk drive, and try again"

I guess this is due to the fact that Whatsapp stores all the data in the memory card, as default setting. Is there any option to modify this??

Thanks

Welcome to Android Central! I don't use WhatsApp, so I'm not sure what the menu is like. Explore its menu options to see if there is a setting there for default download directory.

Do you have USB storage turned on? (Can you connect the phone to a computer and see the phone as a disk drive in the computer?)

If so, turn off USB storage. The phone can't access the SD card when it's being used as USB storage.

Hi,
I'm facing the same issue. But in my case, I pretty much know what has happened.
Please let me explain in detail:
- I wasn't able to move my apps to SD, so I surfed and found that it can be done by partitioning the SD card using "Mini Tool partition wizard", which I did. Created 2 partitions, both primary; one as a FAT and another EXT2.
- Then I used Link2SD to move the apps, but it didn't work.
- When I tried downloading a picture from my whatsapp, I got this message.
- Now my phone does not show up on my PC as a removable storage, neither it is detected by Mini tool.
I have a HDC(It's a chinese brand) 6 plus(iphone copy) which runs Android 4.2 or 4.4 not sure as it does not display it anywhere.
PLUS I do not have any knowledge about android, and that's why I'm in this spot. :'(

Go to Recovery Mode and scroll down to mount Storage in it .. Press power button to mount internal storage.
Things will work for you easily...
