Hello friends today i am going to share how to hide whatsapp photos and video from gallery...

 In WhatsApp you can decide who can view your last seen by simply changing the privacy setting. However, one thing must be noted that all media which you download are directly saved in the gallery of your device. So, in this article we have found an easy method to hide all WhatsApp media files from the media gallery. The process involves the following steps...

 1) Go to file manager If your device don't have file manager download Astro File Explorer

 2) Open Whatsapp folder from SD card.

 

3) Than open the WhatsApp media folder from the phone’s gallery SD card.

 


4) Under that we will find separate arrangement of Images, Videos, Audios.

 

5) After opening the folder, you will come across an option which will help you to create a new folder
