    Is it a WhatsApp channel you are unwittingly following?
    Messages are held separately from chats. They are under Updates, next to the Chats button.
    Just tried following something on my WhatsApp and I didn't get any images saved though.
    Definitely this. OP has followed an WhatsApp channel that is sending them photos (probably an investment group/could be a scam) and their WhatApp default/channel settings are set to save to photo gallery. OP probably does not have WhasApp notifications on, so in unaware of the messages.

    OP, open WhatsApp on your device and unfollow/unsubscribe from the chat/channel.
    Do not have the option to inscribe. Will have to delete everyday.
    If you are following anything it appears above the list of things you can follow, so maybe that isn't the problem.
    Another option would be to uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp, but make sure your chats are backed up first if you want to keep them.

    I think that will be the best option to uninstall what’s app and reinstall. Thanks
