If you are an avid WhatsApp user, you may have encountered the issue of photos automatically saving to your Samsung S9 device’s gallery. This can quickly fill up your device’s storage and become inconvenient when trying to find other important pictures. In this article, we will guide you on how to prevent WhatsApp photos from automatically saving on your Samsung S9.

Changing the WhatsApp Auto-Download Settings

By default, WhatsApp is set to automatically download all incoming photos and media files. To prevent this from happening, follow the steps below:

  • Open WhatsApp on your Samsung S9 device.
  • Tap on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the screen.
  • Select “Settings” from the drop-down menu.
  • Tap on “Data and storage usage” from the list of options.
  • Under the “Media auto-download” section, you will see three options: “When using mobile data,” “When connected on Wi-Fi,” and “When roaming.”

Disabling Auto-Download for Photos

To prevent WhatsApp from automatically downloading photos on your Samsung S9, follow these steps:

  • Tap on the “When using mobile data” option.
  • Uncheck the “Photos” checkbox.
  • Tap on the “When connected on Wi-Fi” option.
  • Uncheck the “Photos” checkbox.
  • Repeat the same steps for the “When roaming” option if desired.

After disabling the auto-download option for photos, WhatsApp will no longer automatically save incoming photos to your Samsung S9 device.

Manually Saving Photos from WhatsApp

If you still want to save specific photos from WhatsApp, you can do so manually by following these steps:

  • Open the WhatsApp chat containing the photo you wish to save.
  • Tap on the photo to view it in full screen.
  • Below the photo, you will see various icons. Tap on the “Download” icon, usually represented by an arrow pointing downwards.
  • The photo will be saved to your Samsung S9 device’s gallery in the WhatsApp folder.

By following these steps, you can have more control over which photos are saved to your Samsung S9 device and prevent unnecessary clutter in your gallery.

Preventing WhatsApp photos from automatically saving on your Samsung S9 can save you precious storage space and provide a more organized gallery experience. By changing the auto-download settings to disable photo downloads and manually saving selected photos, you can have more control over your device’s storage and keep your gallery clutter-free.

We hope this guide has been helpful in addressing your photo-saving concerns on WhatsApp. Enjoy a cleaner gallery and worry less about storage issues on your Samsung S9!
