WhatsApp is currently one of the most popular platforms to share images and videos of our loved ones. At times we receive a ton of images, videos and audio files on the app that we tend to skip on some of them. So, here is a quick little guide to explain how you can automatically download all the apps and videos to your gallery.
How to download images and videos manually
- Open any chat where a media file has arrived
- Click on the download button on the image or video to download it
- On iPhones, you will need to tap on the export icon on the bottom left corner and click on Save.
The process is similar on iPhone
How to automatically save images, videos
- Head over to WhatsApp settings > Data and storage usage
- Here you can select the way you want your phone to download the incoming media files
- Do note that enabling auto-download for Mobile Data or Roaming can result in unnecessary data usage or extra charges
- Additionally, on an iPhone, you will need to head over to Chats settings and enable Save incoming media to save the images and videos automatically to the Photos app
In case you are fed up of getting so many videos or your storage just ran out, you should consider turning off auto-download.
