Easily Hide Photos from WhatsApp and Gallery on Android
WhatsApp has become the basic messaging app for most of us, since the very first time it was launched. However, there is no such a thing as perfection and certain aspects need to be modified or adjusted to your needs. If you are bothered about WhatsApp Photos cluttering the Gallery of your Android phone, you can either stop WhatsApp from saving photos to your Android device or you can simply chose to hide WhatsApp Photos from WhatsApp and Gallery App and be the only one able to take another peek whenever you feel like doing it.
WhatsApp by default stores all images in the Gallery App on your handset. This is designed to make it easy for Android phone users to find all WhatsApp data in the Gallery along with other Photos, but there are many users who do not like to see WhatsApp Photos getting mixed up with other photos in the Gallery or want to get those photos for themselves only. So, how to hide photos from WhatsApp and Gallery on Android?
The procedure requires using an app called Hush Gallery. I must warn you that even if it lets you hide photos for free, if you want to hide videos then you need to make an in-app purchase. By following the below steps, your photos will safely go to a new folder called HushGallery, so you won’t worry about them any longer, not to mention that beautiful UI design or the various options for sharing , deleting and unhide your files.
