WhatsApp is a widely used messaging app that automatically saves received images to your phone’s gallery. This tutorial will guide you on how to stop WhatsApp from saving pictures to your device by adjusting a simple setting.
How to Disable Automatic Photo Saving in WhatsApp
- Open the WhatsApp application on your phone.
- Navigate to the chats page, where you can view all your conversations.
- Go to the bottom right corner and tap on Settings.
- Within the settings, locate and tap on Chats.
- Look for the option labeled Save to Camera Roll or Save Incoming Media and make sure it is disabled.
- Once disabled, photos and videos received in chats will no longer automatically save to your phone’s gallery.
From now on, you will need to manually save any photos or videos you want to keep. If you change your mind, you can re-enable this feature through the same steps at any time.
