How to stop saving WhatsApp photos in the gallery

When you receive a media file in messenger conversations, WhatsApp videos and photos are saved in your smartphone gallery automatically. This setting is enabled by default, but you can turn it off so you don’t fill your phone’s camera roll with unwanted images. It is noteworthy that the application is only valid for media sent after disabling the function. Previously received files should be manually deleted directly from the gallery.

You can stop saving WhatsApp photos to the gallery in general, or apply this setting to specific groups and conversations. See step-by-step smartphones with Android and iPhone (iOS).

iPhone (iOS)

  1. Open the WhatsApp app on your iPhone;
  2. Tap “Settings” and then “Conversations”;
  3. Turn off the “Save to camera roll” option.

How to stop saving photos from a WhatsApp conversation

If you don’t want to turn off automatic photo save in general, you can apply this setting to specific individual groups or conversations.

iPhone (iOS)

  1. Open the WhatsApp app;
  2. Open the individual or group conversation;
  3. Tap the name of the contact or group;
  4. Tap “Save to camera roll”;
  5. Tap “Never.”

This setting is also useful for enabling automatic saving of media received only by a specific contact, while other conversations and groups remain with the function turned off. If that’s the intention, choose the “always” option, to automatically save videos and photos uploaded only through a particular conversation.
