How To Hide Whatsapp Images And Videos From Gallery
This method we will be using to hide the image and videos from Gallery is simple and does not require rooting or any third-party app to do so. Simply understand the way to hide WhatsApp content from a gallery. Just follow the below steps to proceed.
- The first thing now is to Open the File Explorer/Manager of your device.
- Then navigate to Whatsapp folder your might be in internal or external memory, for me I have mine in the external memory of my phone. Open the Whatsapp folder, next Open Media. You will find all folders of your WhatsApp content including WhatsApp images and WhatsApp videos.
- Now rename the folder with name Whatsapp images to .Whatsapp images by doing this it will disappear and hide all your WhatsApp images from the gallery.
