Hi

Just wondering if anyone can help. WhatsApp has stopped automatically saving photos to my phone gallery. It used to do it and I didn't change any settings in the app (that I know of). The chat setting - Show media in gallery - is ticked.

I'm using a Galaxy A5.

Now if I get a photo I want to pass on I have to screen shot it which is a nuisance.

    Why do you need to screenshot it? Use file manager to browse to the folder and select the picture and send by your chosen method.

    I don't know how to access file manager :doh:
    But if it's the folder called My Files, the photo's aren't there either.
