By: Waseem Patwegar

If you have stopped WhatsApp From Auto-Saving Photos to iPhone, you can still manually download and Save WhatsApp Photos to iPhone, whenever you want to save a Photo to your device.

Download and Save WhatsApp Photos to iPhone

In order to be able to manually download and Save WhatsApp Photos to iPhone, you need to provide WhatsApp with access to the Photos App on your iPhone.

In case you are concerned, granting WhatsApp with access to Photos App will not result in WhatsApp dumping random photos to the Camera roll on your iPhone.

WhatsApp won’t be able to Automatically Save Photos to iPhone, as long as the Chat Setting in your WhatsApp Account is configured not to allow WhatsApp to Save Photos to Camera Roll.

If you are not sure about this, follow the steps below to confirm that WhatsApp does not have the permission to Automatically Save Photos to Camera Roll.

1. Open WhatsApp on your iPhone > tap on Settings icon located in bottom menu.
