Why don’t WhatsApp photos appear in the cellphone gallery? What is the cause and how to solve it? Let’s look at the following reviews.
For those of you WhatsApp users, you must have done often exchanging photos through this platform.
When you download a photo from WhatsApp, it will automatically be added to your gallery.
Unfortunately, some users often experience problems in the form of not saving photos in the gallery.
Apparently, there are several reasons why this can happen. Here are the causes and how to fix them.
Causes of Photos Not Appearing in Gallery
There are many possible causes for this. First, it could be that your file storage is full.
If your phone’s storage is full, the gallery won’t be able to save additional files.
The second cause is the WhatsApp server is not responding. You need to know the cause first to be able to overcome this.
How to make WA photos visible again in the gallery
There are several ways that you can try to display WhatsApp photos in the gallery. Here are some of them:
1. Changing Settings
The first way you can do is display media display options in WhatsApp settings.
- First, open WhatsApp and click on the three dots in the top right corner.
- Click the chat menu and activate the show media settings.
- This means that when you get a photo, it will automatically be downloaded and you can view it in the gallery.
2. Changing Internal Storage Options
Previously, it was mentioned that it could be the cause of the photo not appearing in the gallery is the storage that has run out.
You can change the photo storage area from memory card to internal storage.
You can change it in the settings section, select the application manager menu and click the WhatsApp menu. Change the storage settings there.
3. Checking Through Storage
You can just check the photos you want to see directly through the storage. For example, you save photos in internal storage.
You can open My Files then Internal Storage then WhatsApp Folder then Media. Not only photos, you can also check videos, documents and other things.
4. Moving from Private Folder
All applications have a private folder. This folder allows photos not to appear in the gallery, aka only you can see them.
To make it visible in the gallery, you can move it from the private folder. First, open the storage and click on the WhatsApp menu.
There will be an image folder, choose which photos you want to move. Cut or copy the photo and move it in the regular Image folder.
Those are some of the causes and ways to solve this problem. If the photos can’t appear because the server is down, then there’s nothing you can do but wait until the server returns to normal.
Don’t panic and find the reason why the photo can’t be detected on the cellphone. Good luck.
