How to stop Whats'app from saving media on my device?

During whats app chat if you view picture or video, Samsung phone saves it in gallery. I don't want image to be saved like that . What to do? I tried settings by unclicking save incoming media button.

During whats app chat if you view picture or video,

Please be clear! Are you saying on chats? or the display picture? In WhatsApp they don't have online storage for your media. So that you need to download the media in order to view it. If you don't want it means please delete after viewing it from the chat itself it'll ask for delete from the phone gallery tick that once and the media won't be found in the gallery.
