WhatsApp Images And Videos Not Showing in your Phone Gallery

WP images not showing in Gallery

If WhatsApp images and videos are not showing in your phone gallery, here are some steps you can follow to resolve the issue:

1. Check Media Visibility Settings:

   • Open WhatsApp.
   • Go to Settings > Chats.
   • Make sure Media visibility is turned on. This allows newly downloaded media to appear in your gallery.

2. Check File Manager:

   • Use a file manager app to navigate to the WhatsApp media folder:
     • Internal Storage > WhatsApp > Media > WhatsApp Images (and WhatsApp Video).
   • Ensure the files are there.

3. Check for .nomedia File:

   • In the WhatsApp Images or Videos folder, look for a file named .nomedia.
   • If it exists, delete it. This file prevents media from being scanned by the gallery.

4. Refresh Gallery:

   • Sometimes, the gallery app may need to be refreshed. You can do this by restarting your device.

5. Check Permissions:

   • Go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Permissions.
   • Ensure WhatsApp has permission to access your storage.

6. Clear Gallery Cache:

   • Go to Settings > Apps > Gallery (or your specific gallery app).
   • Tap on Storage and then Clear cache.

7. Reboot Your Device:

   • Restart your phone to help refresh the media scanner.

8. Check for Updates:

   • Make sure you have the latest version of WhatsApp and your gallery app from the Google Play Store.

9. Backup and Reinstall WhatsApp (if necessary):

   • As a last resort, you can back up your chats, uninstall WhatsApp, and then reinstall it. This may resolve any underlying issues.

If these steps don't work, consider checking the specific help resources for your device or the WhatsApp Help Center for additional assistance.
