Furthermore, others, annoyed by this problem, have even tried to uninstall the application and then install it again, but without success. Finally, there were also those who, to temporarily stem the problem, deactivated the automatic download of images on WhatsApp through the settings. All this happened under the indifferent gaze of the users Androidnot affected by this annoying issue.
WhatsApp: how to solve the problem of photos saved twice
