Where are photos stored when 'Save to camera roll' is turned off in WhatsApp

I am a new iPhone user. Currently using 13 Pro. In WhatsApp I have turned off the 'Save to camera roll' option which is working as expected.

But where are the photos stored when the option is turned off?

As we can still see the images within WhatsApp application.

So are those photos stored in WhatsApp server or somewhere else within phone like in android it's stored in WhatsApp folder.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15
