Weird name of picture send by WhatsApp

Hi. Saving pictures from WhatsApp in iPhone Photo-app, the original names are replaced by very long weird names, f.e. 5d87103f-73d5-4443-8e2b-c5d2fd9ea600.jpg

How to prevent this? WhatsApp is up to date. iPhone11 (16.2). Thanks!

iPhone 11, 16

WhatsApp greeting image hackable Can images like greetings images from Google contain a phishing hack? I sometimes search for greetings and then click on the image on iOS to ‘Save to photos’ to send to friends via WhatsApp. Is this safe, after all it’s just a picture.

Unusually named pop up coming while sending photos/video on WhatsApp Am using iPhone 12 Pro Max running on iOS 17.3.1., am seeing an unusual pop up while sending photos or videos on WhatsApp. It seems like instead of “sending” it is showing “sH[7’”. Am thinking it might be a bug or any Trojan/Virus.
