WhatsApp fails to download media or make local backups

I recently changed from Jolla 1 to XA2, and first had problems with restoring the whatsapp backup (because I couldn't write to android_storage). I found a work-around (https://together.jolla.com/question/202078/cant-copy-whatsapp-backup-to-android-_storage/ and https://together.jolla.com/question/200375/cannot-write-to-android-storage/) and got the app working. But I cannot download any media in the app, nor can I make a local backup. I tried messing around with permissions and changed the user and group to media_rw (like Alex suggested in https://together.jolla.com/question/200375/cannot-write-to-android-storage/) but this did not resolve the issue.

Anyone know how to fix this? I'm running Sailfish X 3.0.2.8 (obviously with Android support beta).
