By default, WhatsApp automatically downloads and saves photos from WhatsApp Chats to the Photo Gallery on your Android Phone.

This ensures that you have a copy of all the received WhatsApp photos on your device and you are able to access these Photos, even if the Chats containing the photos are deleted.

If you are unable to see Received WhatsApp Photos on your Android Phone, the problem can be easily fixed by enabling the option to show downloaded WhatsApp Media in Photo Gallery.

If Sent WhatsApp Photos are not showing in Photo Gallery, you will have to modify ‘WhatsApp Sent’ Media Folder on your device.

1. Received WhatsApp Photos Not Showing on Android Phone
