P20 Pro / Whats App - Can't View downloaded images

[Dan_1981]

Hi All - first post - hoping you can help.

I'm trying to get whatsapp to autodownload the images I receive into my gallery.

Within Whatsapp - Show media in gallery is ticked. Whatsapp has the rights to access my storage etc.

However when I receive an image it doesn't appear in my gallery, nor does it appear in Albums > other > whatsapp

However using a file explorer I can find all the images - location is:

/storage/emulated/0/whatsapp/meadia/whatsapp Images

So how do I get them to show in either my normal gallery or even the whatsap gallery that I can access in a normal way!

Thanks in advance

Welcome to Android Central! You might get a better response if I move this thread to the WhatsApp forum -- would that be ok?

When using the default File app, on the categories view>images there is a WhatsApp Images folder for me. If you tap the Internal Stotage view the WhatsApp folder sits in the root.
