How to Fix WhatsApp Photos Not Showing in Mobile Gallery 

The issue of WhatsApp photos not appearing in the Android phone gallery is mainly related to the WhatsApp media display option being disabled on the device.

WhatsApp Received Photo's And Videos Not Showing In Gallery Do Perfect Settings 

WhatsApp photos don't appear in Gallery

By default, WhatsApp automatically downloads photos from WhatsApp chat and saves them in the photo gallery on your Android phone.

This will save a copy of all WhatsApp photos you receive on your device and give you access to these photos even if the chat containing the photos is deleted.

If the received WhatsApp photos are not displayed on your Android smartphone, you can solve the problem by simply enabling the option to display the downloaded WhatsApp media in the photo gallery.

If the submitted WhatsApp photos do not appear in the photo gallery, you need to change the "WhatsApp Sent" media folder on your device.
