i guess i just stick with sammy

all android sifu, wanna ask something.

I use ios before changing to android recently.
with ios all my whatsapp photo wont auto download to my gallery but i still can see the photo and if i want to save into my gallery then only i save, is there anyway i can do it with my android as well cause i disable auto download but there are certain photos i want to save to my gallery but i can't seems to do that.

You can use phone clone to transfer all your pictures over to your gallery.

i got no problem with transferring photo. what im refering is how can i download the photos i want in whatsapp instead of auto download

oh.. I think it would be your whatsapp settings. Try going into whatsapp--> settings --> Chats --> Media visibility (turn on)

Huawei m30p does have a private space (secured folder).

but with this turn on then all the photo will be on auto download right?
but i don't want that, i want the option for me to manually download the photo i want to save in my phone gallery rather than when i open the photo within whatsapp then it will auto download

Hi bro...in whatsapp>setting> data & storage usage> u disable all auto download through mobile and wifi..during chat, there will be no auto download..if u want to download u just need to click on the image..if u dont want dont download..that is how manual download if what i understood from ur statement

if you try it on huawei mate 30 pro, it cannot be done. i am also a iphone converter to huawei mate 30 pro. (don't know how other android phone works)

you understand what im trying to say right? cause if we open a photo in whatsapp it will automatically save the photo in gallery even though i just want to look at the photo without saving it to gallery.

To protect user data privacy, security, and safeguard the overall experience, the Google Play Store, Google Play Protect, and Google’s core apps (including Gmail, YouTube, Maps, and others) are only available on Play Protect certified devices. 

Play Protect certified devices go through a rigorous security review and compatibility testing process, performed by Google, to ensure user data and app information are kept safe. They also come from the factory with our Google Play Protect software, which provides protection against the device being compromised. 

This has been our long-standing approach to user security and privacy and is applied consistently across all device manufacturers. 

Because of the government restrictions described above, new Huawei device models made available to the public after May 16, 2019 have not been able to go through this security process nor will they have Play Protect preloaded. As a result, they are considered “uncertified,” and will not be able to utilize Google’s apps and services. 

In addition, sideloaded Google apps will not work reliably because we do not allow these services to run on uncertified devices where security may be compromised. Sideloading Google’s apps also carries a high risk of installing an app that has been altered or tampered with in ways that can compromise user security. 

I give up looking the solutions for this.
I understand ur question.

In IOS, u can view and download media received in whatsapp and it WONT SAVE in gallery. U need to manually SAVE the picture and will appear in gallery.

But in Android, when u view and download media u received in whatsapp, it will create folder in gallery. Once view and download it will auto save in gallery.

I like IOS more, when someone send u ehem ehem picture it wont show in gallery. What ever happened in whatsapp, stay in whatsapp. Android can easily kantoi because it will auto save picture in gallery.
