how to make a separate folder for whatsapp photos and videos.

Hi there,

1) Unless Whatsapp developers introduce that, you cannot define that picture for this or that app are automatically assigned to a folder.

2) All pictures taken or received by any means on the iPhone will go in the Camera Roll, even if the app creates a specific folder for its photos. The folder is some kind of a shortcut to access specific photos faster, but if/when deleted from the camera roll folder, they are also gone from the specific folder. The only way to have photos in folder that are not linked to camera roll is to sync them from a computer to the iPhone via iTunes. You will not be able to edit or delete them from the iPhone though afterwards, as not controlled by the iPhone at all.

Hope this answers your queries.

I wish there was, but we are iOS 7 now and Apple still does not think it would be a useful feature to have in the native Photos app. You have plenty of free application in the App Store that will give you that information, as well as if you connect your iPhone to iTunes. Look for EXIF as search criterion and select one. Unfortunately and from what I've seen, iOS 8 still does not have this as well 😟

When you edit a picture in the Photos, it does not really edit them. For instance, you change the Filter and save, you can still revert to original filter or apply another filter. If you crop the image and save, click on crop again, you can see that the original image is still available.

When you send a cropped image by email for instance, it will send the full original image. If you want to crop it really before sending, you need to use another app from the App Store and crop it from there. This will let you save it as a new image.

This is what forums are for 🙂

If you would like Apple to know that you would like to see these changes, the forum is not where you need to share it. While it is the place for you to get some answers, Apple does not participate in the forum. They get their feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link. They view all of the feedback their, however they do not provide individual responses.

Well, I know it is an old post, but since I found it, someone else might 🙂

If you can't create a specific folder, at least you can stop Whatsapp to save to Camera Roll:

• Go to Settings
• Scroll down and tap on Privacy
• Tap on Photos
• Now turn off the switch for WhatsApp

And voila !

If turn off the switch for Whatsapp, photos don't get saved to camera roll. But I could see the photos in whatsapp. Where are they saved then?

Actually in iOS there is a private space for each and every application the concept called sandboxing, If someone stop whatsapp to save picture to camera roll even after the pictures get saved in that private space and will not be visible from anywhere except whatsapp.

so it will eat our memory?

What kind of post is this ? Apple knows about this problem and not fixing it ? Samsung and others are way ahead of this kind of features then...

yes it will take up memory but in general whatsapp images are compressed and cropped compared to original.
