How to save Whatsapp photos (received and sent) to keep them

When you receive photos taken by friends on Whatsapp after a party or after a certain event, it would be good to save them in the gallery, so you can see them from the main photo application, without necessarily opening that chat on Whatsapp.
On the other hand, it can happen to send a photo to someone through the Whatsapp chat by taking it with the built-in camera and then wanting to keep it in memory.
This operation, to save the received and also sent photos, is really necessary because then in Whatsapp many photos and junk images from the various groups of friends accumulate, which if they go to accumulate they become a waste of internal memory in the phone.
In this regard, we had seen how to free up space in Whatsapp and clean the archive use by deleting photos and images sent and received.
When you want to save and extract received and sent photos from Whatsapp that we want to keep and see in the gallery, there are two methods, one that works on iPhone, another that works on Android smartphones (Samsung, Huawei and other brands).
To save the Whatsapp photos received and sent on an Android phone, theoretically, simply find them in the Gallery application.
If we use Google Photos, we need to open the main menu by tapping on the button with three lines at the top left and then tap on Device Folders.
Then find the Whatsapp Images folder to see all the images saved by Whatsapp in the various chats and groups.
To keep important photos safely, it is better to select them, then press the button with three dots at the top right and copy them to the Camera folder or to another of your choice.
If you use Google Photos, it is not convenient to activate the automatic backup for Whatsapp images because it would save all the junk usually coming from the groups, which instead should be deleted often.
If you use another gallery app for Android, the process is the same.
However, if you have chosen to use the option that disables the download and saving of photos and videos on Whatsapp, you must download the photos manually by touching the preview in the chats.
You can find the photos of Whatsapp in the internal folder of the Android filesystem to be able to make a copy to save in another safe folder.
Using a file manager for Android such as ES File Explorer, you can go to the WhatsApp / Media / WhatsApp Images folder and use the copy, cut and paste keys to move and save them to another location.
Saving the photos of Whatsapp received and sent on the iPhone to the Gallery is automatic and no modification is required.
If it doesn't work, check that the option is activated in Settings (of Whatsapp)> Chat > Save received media .
You must also make sure that WhatsApp is "authorized" to access the Photos app by going to Settings (of the iPhone) -> Privacy -> Photos -> Whatsapp -> Reading and writing
What you should do, however, is to copy the most important photos manually into the main camera roll, so that if you use an app like Google Photos, they are saved in the automatic backup.
To do this, you must open the chat, find the photo you want to keep, touch it to bring up the menu, then touch the arrow to the right and touch Save.
The iPhone will not give any confirmation, but the photo will be saved in the camera roll and will be included in the main folder of the Camera.
Photos on Whatsapp chats can be saved in a super simple way by opening Whatsapp via website on PC .
From the Whatsapp Web site, just press on an image to open it large and then save it by pressing the download button at the top right (the down arrow) or using the right mouse button on the photo.
