Save selected pic from whatsapp to gallery

[Cancer]

Hi,

I am using Galaxy A50 and if I want to save any pic I received in WhatsApp to my gallery, it does not have an option.

If we select save media to gallery in whatsapp, it saves all media. But I want to save only the one I want to.

Can anyone help?

I can't say for the android Mi, but the iPhone doesn't have this feature. This is because WhatsApp has removed this feature. Samsung can't change this.

There seems to be a lot of frustrated people on here, and I feel your pain but do not fear, I think I have a solution, well, it worked for me....
I figured, as I can see these images offline they must exist physically on the phone, using the 'my files' app go to:

Internal storage/whatsapp/media/whatsapp images/private

And low and behold all the images are there to select and move/copy to wherever you want them. I hope this helps someone else solve their issue....

I just moved from iphone to samsung and everything was fine until i tried to save a photo of whatsapp and it didn't let me 😞

You can click on the three dots then click share > story in instagram > and you save it there

but you depend on instagram, yet it doesn't lower the picture quality

Have you got any solution? I am also facing the same issue. Couldn't figure out solution yet.

Hi all,

I am having the same problem trying to save an individual photo from Whatsapp into both my Samsung A51 and s10e and I found a solution within Samsung. 

First, within Whatsapp, go to the 3 dots on the top right, choose Settings, Chats and turn on Media visibility. Then go to Settings, Data and storage usage, and turn off all downloads (photos, audio, videos, documents) regardless of whether you are using mobile data, Wi-Fi or when roaming.

Once you do this, all NEW incoming photos will have a download button on it, which when pressed, will save the photo to your gallery. This worked for both my A51 and s10e.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I have screenshot the image viewed in whatsapp. Saves it to your gallery. Granted wont be same quality image but gets into gallery and fine for sharing to social.

I was facing the same problem, and searching the options, found a solution that worked for me.

-click on the photo

-click the three dots

-go to view in gallery

-click the share icon on the bottom

-click on the shared album

-then, the first time you're doing it, just create a shared album that's only shared with yourself

-you can now save and see the photos in the gallery in the shared albuns section

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Unfortunately I didn't find any solution by Samsung. But alternatively if you install cx file explorer, we can save it in the phone.

Install cx file explorer.

Select the pic we want to save

Click on share

In the available options to share select cx file explorer 

and save it in the phone
