how to fix whats app "download failed" error in my micromax canvas 2 adroid phone

[Android Central Question]

I am not able to download any image or file or videos from WhatsApp. It says "download failed" and then also says that 'the download was unable to complete. Please try again later.'

Welcome to Android Central! Does this happen on both wi-fi and mobile data? Is the phone set to save to the SD card by default?
