How to Download WhatsApp Contacts Chat Photos and Videos

By John Bennet
These days WhatsApp media files are overwhelming due to wide usage day and night which almost occupy one-third of the storage space in our devices. Except for WhatsApp statuses, other media chats and conversations with Photos, Videos, Gif files, and Stickers remain in the device forever until re-located or deleted, the existence of these files will gradually reduce memory of the phone.

For this reason, WhatsApp users usually delete unwanted chats and conversations every day to retain the memory for upcoming chats. But what if you want a conversation with media files either from a specific contact or from whole chat list users to be saved.

How to Backup WhatsApp Photos, Videos and GiF Files?
WhatsApp does have the facility to create a backup of WhatsApp data in Settings ->Chats->Backup, however, this backup copy will contain both text chats and media files, and the same can be accessed only by re-installing the App again and cannot be accessed directly from the file location.

And if you want the media files separately to be saved to PC then this default feature will not help. Though we have other third-party applications online to extract the data from the backup copy generated from WhatsApp settings, we don't recommend the usage of third party applications to avoid a data breach.

 Creating a backup of all the WhatsApp media files is no wonder, You don't have to create a backup because it is already created and distinguished with a different folder name, just navigate and re-locate.
  • Step 1: Goto ->My Files folder app in your phone
  • Step 2:  Storage - > WhatsApp - > Media: This folder will contain many subfolders that contain sent and received files such as photos, videos, audio, gif files, and voice notes
    • WhatsApp media files navigation path

  • Step 3: Copy the folder and paste the same to external storage to create a backup of all the data.
You can also use data cable, Wifi, WifiDirect, Bluetooth, etc to move the backup to a personal computer, external hard disk, etc with huge memory space.

How to Take WhatsApp Photos and Videos of One WhatsApp Contact Chat?
Even though the data were categorized into different folders for photos, videos, audio and voice notes in the above method, However, it doesn't group photos and videos separately based on each contact chats.

After several attempts to download all the photos and videos of one of my friends found this simple way, So to download photos and any other media files of your WhatsApp contact separately just follow the below steps.
  • Step 1: Open WhatsApp -> click on Chat tab - > open the chat window of the contact whose media files have to be downloaded.
  • Step 2: At the top right corner ->click on the dotted icon and then More > Export Chat 
    • Note: This facility to "Export Chart" is currently enabled only in Mobile App, WhatsApp web doesn't have this facility.
  • Step 3: -Click on Export Chat > A new window prompts with two options Without Media and Include Media, Tap on "Include Media" and then wait for a while to initialize the transfer.
  • Step 4: Now a new window with several transfer medium to choose will be displayed, select any transfer medium such as Wifi, Bluetooth, Wifi Direct, Cloud, OneDrive, etc and then transfer.
Once the data transfer is complete the chat with media files of the specific contact can be accessed from the new location and then saved separately.

How to Format Write Protected USB Disk Drive and SD Card

By John Bennet
The main intention to append the write protection switches in USB flash drives and SD cards is to prevent accidental file deletion and to avoid suspicious files such as malware/trojan etc. from unauthorized sources delivering/storing into the USB disk. If the USB disk is in read-only mode, any attempts to create (or) edit file into the USB disk will be denied, But when you really want to make changes in the USB disk to add some more information (or) to edit the information that is already present in it, the restriction that you added on your computer initially will now prevent you from making changes such as adding new files or deleting existing files from any USB disk drive plugged into it. However, you can still read the files available in it, but you'll not be allowed to make changes and format the disk. The disk is write-protected -  You cannot format Having a flash drive/ SD card which is not completely accessible even by the owner of that device, is like having a l

By John Bennet
We cannot keep everything in WhatsApp for so long, sometimes due to less importance of the chat and most of the time to save memory space. If you wonder what is the big deal in deleting chat data of contact from WhatsApp, thinking just by holding the chat item and tap on delete itself would do so (or) by going to Contacts chat - > click on Top Right Corner -> Tap More option ->Clear Chat would also delete the entire chat conversation. But in either way, the chat item will be deleted one by one or as a whole.
