Android Central Question

This is extremely weird... I want to copy WhatsApp images from my Android phone to my PC. So I use the 'My Files' app and navigate into Internal storage --> WhatsApp --> Media --> WhatsApp Images. There I see a list of N images.

Method 1: I use the menu --> Share feature to email the images to myself. This works well. I receive N images by email, which seem identical to the ones in my phone.

Method 2: I connect the phone with USB cable to my PC and "drag" the N images into a new folder on my PC, which copies N images. *Most* of them are identical to the ones in my phones, but a few of them are different. Though they carry the same names, they consist of *other* (already existing) WhatsApp images.

???
 
Could it be that these "other" images have not been downloaded to your phone by you viewing the images in WhatsApp before doing the copy to the PC?
