Question
How long is media stored for incoming WhatsApp messages?
Applies To
- Messages API
- WhatsApp Inbound Media
Answer
Inbound Media messages are shared as links to the user's Inbound Webhooks. Media is stored on the Vonage API platform for 48 hours after forwarding it to the user's webhook. We recommend you download the image within this time frame. Accessing the link after 48 hours will return a 404 error.
