Whenever I download an image file from WhatsApp the file names gets to be very long e.g.
7d3cd6be-87ec-4a30-9213-5413d4ef7664 1.jpeg
I am using Iphone 13 and ISO 18.3.1
If someone has a way around it please let me know.
Thanks
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18
WhatsApp chooses the file name for any image downloaded. What you see is an UUID (Universally Unique Identification). That is how they represent the names on their platform so no 2 are the same. Users have requested an option for WhatsApp to allow choosing their own name, but so far that is not something that they have chosen to implement. You can only change the name on your device after it has been downloaded.
