[Q] Whatsapp Image Storage?! - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey y'all, I was just on Whatsapp, and my friend sent me an image.I saw the pic and deleted it.. Now to be quite honest with you guys, I could get in trouble for some of those images if anyone were to grab hold of my phone and go through it....eek!!
I went to my gallery and deleted the pics.. (just to be sure i went to Whatsapp folder in SD card and checked the Image folder nothing was there)
Is it safe it assume that i have safely deleted the pic.
Or is it saved in whatsapp server and can be retrived?
Also when i clear my conversation? Is it fully cleared? Or can that also be got back?
Thanks

all the messages, pics and videos are stored on your sd card...so you cannot retrieve it once deleted

Actually, you can retrieve deleted things... There are numerous applications available for that... Like recuva

[Q] Any way to save the pictures to the phone and not the sd card?

Hi, is there any way I can save the pictures to the phones memory and not the sd card? Cuz if i lose the phone then my pictures will easily be accessible. Kindly let me know. I try moving the pictures to a folder in the phone manually through root explorer but they get deleted upon reboot.

I don't know how this would work. Surely if they're on the phone and you loose the phone you'd loose all the photos stored on the phone.
Have you tried looking at Picasa Web Albums ? I personally haven't used it but it looks like it has the option to sync with the phone, then they're stored externally to the phone so always available. I've nut used Picasa Web Albums but have used Picasa in the past.
You could also look at your gmail account off a standard PC browser, top left there is a photos link, look in there. Seems linked in with Google+ though.

What media? The backup files include only the chat conversations. Media files like videos, pictures and so on are stored in separate folders in the WhatsApp folder. Have a look at it on your phone.

Those type of media (pictures, videos etc.) are not part of the backup. You can manually back up those files by copying the folders Whatsapp Images, Whatsapp Videos etc. (which are inside of the Whatsapp folder on your internal storage) to an external storage, for example your external SD card. If you want to restore those files, simply copy them back into your Whatsapp folder.

Google Photos app problem

Guys regretfully I downloaded the new Google Photos app today. Unfortunately somehow it backed up ALL my Gallery camera photos and now I have very little storage space on my N5.
I've tried deleting photos but the only way I can do it is from the Photos app BUT when I do delete them they are also removed from my Gallery. But I want them to remain in my gallery.
Help please
All photos you had in google drive got downloaded to phone?
I'm so confused right now.
Hi thanks for your reply. I'm confused too. I downloaded the photos app. It began backing up. Then about an hour later I got a message saying it couldn't back up all my photos as my device had run out of enough memory!
I have checked my Gallery app and there are no duplicate photos. I have also deleted the Auto backup folder. And have deleted the photos app. But I still haven't received covered the lost storage.

QuickPic app is not showing any cloud data (photos)

Hi there,
I am not able to find any photos in QuickPic Gallery cloud app which I have backed app. There is almost 50GB+ and I am unable to view it. I am also trying to access from Web view but there is also nothing showing. I read one XDA thread saying that CM Cloud is taking down their server in April 2017 (but photos were backing up till last week i.e. 28th December 2018) and they informed users to restore their data. but last week I came to know about it and I also didn't get notification in QuickPic Gallery app about the same.
Is there any solution? that will be a big relief. Thanks!!!
I'm facing the same problem. I have around 43GB of photos in there. Now I cannot access too, I didnt know about them terminating their service, else I would have back up first. No notifications or email.
Same here, it's backing up the pictures, but I can't view any of the backed up folders.
My Solution:
1: Go from your Windows PC to https://cloud.cmcm.com and login with your CM Cloud login from QuickPic
2. On top click on the link "How to download photos from QuickPic"
3. Follow the instructions
4. Rename the downloaded fotos with an exif-tool
5. done!
hi fehrcomp, thank you so much for sharing. i did login and didnt able to restore from quickpic. it shows : {"ret":-1,"data":{"message":"wrong token","error":5}}
what did i do wrong?
I lost about 3000 pics using Quick Pick and CM Cloud... I log in to the CM Cloud and the pics are not there. If you have a chance, get your pics out of there, quickly!
I'm just downloading my photos as we speak from that **** of a cloud service, as I have recieved notice about CM shutting it down (and it should).
Note that in order to see your pictures, you have to login into https://cloud.cmcm.com/p/disk/ and look for a folder called CM Qickpic, and in that folder theres a folder called "Original Photos". All my photos are there, and I'm using their even more **** of a tool to download it...
Hope you guys get your precious stuff and get the hell out of there ASAP!
P.S.- Anyone already using a similar (prefferably more stable and trusted) service? I'm syncing my stuff on Google Photo at this moment...
Best of luck!
@fehrcomp
4. Rename the downloaded fotos with an exif-tool
How did you do this? my exif seems to be deleted/incorrect for some pics
Already done,all my pics was downloaded followed these guide above.... thanks guys.
@tintumat
I had correct exif data. Otherwhise you could not use a exif tool.
@keeekeee
You tried an other browser?
Awesome, glad to hear!
Can anyone help in this ?
i have 10 years of photos there 134gb cannot access them, the only way that worked for me but still suffering was installing bluestack on my PC and then install older version of quickpic, login and then i see everything i started to download the pictures and now im stuck because bluestack allows only 65gb of storage and im still half way restoring, no luck through their ****ty website!
If anyone can help in this will be appreciated.
I can't even login, when I use the link provided to login from a computer I get "You have logged out, please log in again". The pw is correct because when I am using a bogus pw (for testing) it actually shows me that the email or pw is incorrect. How can I login? I even reset my pw 2 times, but I can't login. On the phone it works, I see the pictures, but I cannot download them (restore failed).
I have a total of 4.9 TB of storage at cm cloud, whereas the used space is about 5 GB, but In cloud there are only 19 photos remaining.
I backed up all the data from the cloud before the service shut down but I was curious if they deleted our data, and they didn't, and also there is no option to delete your photos.

Migrate whatsapp data from ios to samsung s21, I'm so stressed

Bought my mom a new phone, android this time. But I'm super nervous if I can't manage to transfer her photos, videos and chats from whatsapp. Does anybody know anything about this? Any helps will be appreciated..
yeah whatsapp don't store the files you uploaded on chat like photos or videos on server it just stay on your device storage ... perhaps copying them might work??

I found an app called wazzapmigrator its paid but I'll update with the results.
Cuz it will be impossible and so inefficient with copying the messages and photos manually.

Firstly, I don't have What up installed on my device, however I have set up, What's up (Android device) quite a few times for other people.
I told them to backup all, videos etc.( whatever).......
Look in the What's up app settings,( it should be the same as Android.?)
Make sure you do a full Backup to Whatsapp.
After doing a backup.
All you have to do is on new device when setting What's up ... up
for first use it, should recognize the cell phone number and you can do a WhatsApp restore.
I know that it restored all their data.id's etc etc.
You can ask any other members to confirm this.!
Good luck.

Hey, thanks for your reply.
As a reply to your message, unfortunately, as can be seen on the official whatsapp faq in their website, there's no way to transfer datas (including both messages and media) because they use two different cloud storage formats I believe. You can't do it via manual backup or itunes backup cuz they're encrypted differently.
However as I mentioned in my message above, the app called wazzapmigrator did it completely perfect. No message loss, photo or video loss, I've got almost 10000 types of media including gifs, photos, videos, links, when transferring, about 100 was failed which is like %1 and its nothing when you compare with the big picture. I checked the recent messages and the recent photos, everything was there. No problem with gallery, no problem at all. I'm so happy and its worth every penny actually
Well Recently I bought new phone for my mom and I have no idea how to migrate whatsapp data so i google and found application MobileTrabs after using I've migrate data .
