Use every day WhatsApp is a convenience to keep personal relationships alive. And it is that, in addition to being free, it is simple and direct. Without forgetting the possibility of sending and receiving photos The problem is that mobile memory is finite , and both selfie and meme end up being a problem for the proper functioning of the smartphone Thus, all that remains is to make a backup copy of all these images, and delete them from memory to restore fluidity to the terminal, and space for more applications and new updates.But how to save the photos that are sent to you by WhatsApp on your computer? Here I will tell you step by step if you are a mobile user with the operating system Android
The first thing is to have all the necessary elements for the process. All you need is the mobile from which you want to extract WhatsApp photos, a USB cable to connect it to the computer and, finally, a computer itself.
With this, you only have to connect these two devices with the cable In some cases, mobile phones Android show a new screen showing different connection modes, either just to recharge the battery or to transfer files. In this case, it is appropriate to mark the option Multimedia Device In this way the computer recognizes the mobile as a memory, where it can copy and paste all kinds of files.
The next step is to access, from the computer, the mobile folder. Simply enter File Explorer and click on the This computer section, where hard drives should be listed, pendrives and mobiles that are currently connected to the computer.
Within this general folder of the terminal, there are many more in reference to different applications and contents. The one we are interested in is called WhatsApp Here, there are others to look for Media This is the folder where both photos and videos, audio recordings and other multimedia content of WhatsApp are stored
If what we want is to save the photographs, the folder to be copied is called WhatsApp ImagesIt is where all the images received through the different chats of WhatsApp, both individual and group, are stored. Also, inside there is a folder called Sent that makes a copy of the sent ones.
In this way, all you have to do is right-click on WhatsApp Images and select the option Copy.
Then just create a folder anywhere on your computer, be it the desktop or some other section like Documents. Give it a name that identifies it to always have it at hand and, finally, make right click of the mouseon the white space inside and select the option Paste
With this, the photographs are copied from the mobile to the computer, creating a copy that remains safe on it. A process that can take several minutes if you have a large collection of images. In this way, the user can later delete as many as they want from the mobile to free up space without fear of losing them forever, since they already have a copy on their computer .
