I like to download my holiday photos I’ve taken on my lovely FP4 which is manageable from Google but I cannot figure it out on WhatsApp… Is the best way to link the FP4 first to my PC in WhatsApp then select all the photos from there (tedious)?
I thought you took the pictures, so why are they in WhatsApp and not your gallery?
Whatsapp pictures are on the following folder:
/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media/Whatsapp Images/ for the ones you received
/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media/Whatsapp Images/Sent/ for the ones you sent

Good question - I did not explain this point! These were photos exchanged with the friends I was travelling with.
And you ticked the option in WhatsApp that they are stored in your gallery?
I have looked in settings and don’t see this - I didn’t know this was an option. Can you send me a screenshot?
Thanks - but I don’t know how to access this page?
Within the file explorer.
- connect your phone to your PC with USB
- on the phone, click on the notification “charging only” and select “file transfer”
- on the PC, explore the FP4 files, go to the directory I mentioned and then copy all the interesting pictures
