▶️ In Google Photos I don't get the WhatsApp folder: solution

If when I enter Google Photos the WhatsApp folder does not appear: Solution to the rescue! You may be looking for a photo that They sent you a long time ago and Google Photos is not there; or that, suddenly, the folder where you used to find them has disappeared. The solution may be related to configuring the settings of one of the two applications or both. Above all, do not despair. We tell you step by step what you have to do!

Why WhatsApp photos don't appear in Google Photos

The most likely answer to why WhatsApp photos don't appear in Google Photos,is that you haven't enabled the option for this happen.If you want every content sent to you to be automatically saved in the cloud, we'll tell you how to do it. It only takes a couple of minutes.

But first, don't forget that Google's storage space is not unlimited now,so maybe you have exceeded the limit and it is precisely for this reason that they have stopped saving the photos. If you still have space, you may also prefer to reserve it, instead of filling it with all the images, videos and other content that arrives every day to WhatsApp groups.

How to make a backup in Google Photos

Up to you! If you still want to synchronize the content of both applications, these are the steps you must follow so that the WhatsApp image folder appears in Google Photos automatically.

In Google Photos I can't see the WhatsApp folder: solution

Enter Goole Photos and click on your profile icon (your photo probably appears) at the top right of the screen of your mobile.
Select the “Photo Settings” icon and, in the settings, check the “Backup and sync” option .

In the following drop-down menu, click on “Device folders with backup”. Then all the folders will appear and you must mark those you want.
Check if the WhatsApp tab is checked: If the answer is no, there is the solution. If the tab is checked and the folder still doesn't appear, the problem may come from WhatsApp (we'll explain it to you below!).

Once the tab is marked, go back to the beginning, enter "Library" and the WhatsApp folder should appear as seen in the image.

My WhatsApp photo folder has disappeared

If you have followed the steps above and still the WhatsApp photos folder has disappeared; or if, for example, it does not appear on your phone either, what you may have to change is some points of the configuration of this application.

It may also happen that there has been an application update, or that there has been a problem downloading or updating WhatsApp. In that case you must follow the following points to reconfigure it. Take note!

Enter WhatsApp and press the three dots that appear at the top right.
In the first drop-down menu that appears, enter the “Chats” option; and once inside make sure that the “Visibility of multimedia files” option is checked.

Another of the changes you may need to make for the WhatsApp folder to appear, both in Google Photos and on your phone, is the following:

Enter, as we explained above, in WhatsApp "Settings", but this time select "Storage and data". You can that you do not have automatic download activated (or it has been deactivated), as seen in the image, and that is why you cannot find the photos.

By activating these options you are allowing the application to share the files that you receive through WhatsApp, both on your phone and on Google Photos.
