On Android, all photos received from Whatsapp are stored automatically in the Whatsapp folder, making it very easy to copy to the PC.

On iOS, its shows ALL the pictures in the Camera roll and thus it clutters all your images because they mix the photos taken with the Camera with the pictures you receive from Whatsapp.

If you want a separate folder only for Whatsapp photos, you can go to settings and turn off "Save in Camera Roll" and then the whatsapp photos will not show in camera roll anymore. But if you want them saved in the Whatsapp folder, you must do it manually, for each individual photo, which sucks.

I'm not an Android fanboy, I have an iPhone 13 Pro right now, and yes, sometimes iOS really sucks and is limited in functionality.

On iOS, only the photos you MANUALLY save are stored in the Whatsapp album. That means you have to click every picture and save it. Time consuming and frustrating.

On Android, every picture you RECEIVE(not manually save, like on iOS) is stored(automatically) in the Whatsapp folder so it is very easy to copy all the photos on the PC, for example.

iOS is a pain in the ass regarding photos.

  1. You need iTunes if you want to copy photos FROM the PC to the iPhone. if you want to copy photos from the iPhone to PC, it's easier, no need for iTunes, just use File Explorer.
  2. Grouping photos is a mess because you don't have a separate "Camera" album and a "Whatsapp" album , for example, like on Android. This means all photos will appear on your camera roll. You can go to Whatsapp and de-activate the option to show Whatsapp photos in the camera roll, but they will be accessible only in the Whatsapp app, there is no separate Whatsapp photo folder. So if you want to copy all whatsapp photos from the phone to the PC, bad luck, you have to select them manually...

All in all... Android is much easier to use, has a better file manager and all the photos are saved in the corresponding folder. iOS programmers had a brainfart when they created the Photos app.

Think again before changing ships. You may end up regretting your choice.

After enjoying the freedom Android offers, you will hate the closed and limited iOS.

I have an iPhone 13 Pro now, it's ok but I don't enjoy it. I miss Android... I'm currently planning to buy an S23.
