Whatsapp image file names Hello, I'd appreciate assistance with the following question about how WhatsApp names image files saved to an iPhone's Photos folder. My iPhone saves photos taken by the camera sequentially, following the format IMG_0001.JPG with ascending numeration. When someone sends me a picture via WhatsApp, I have it set to save automatically into my iPhone's Photos folder. The problem occurs when I download my image files to my Windows desktop. When I view the file names of the downloaded images, the images taken by me (using the iPhone's camera) implement the IMG_XXXX.JPG naming format -- but the photos that originated from WhatsApp have random names such as AJXQ8273.JPG. Does anyone know why the WhatsApp file names are getting random names? Is there any way to have the WhatsApp images stored on my iPhone with the IMG_XXXX.JPG naming format and not the random file names it currently uses? Thank you in advance, Lisa

This happens automatically on android or other operating systems . Hence need to know how can it be done on ios , which only Apple can answer

Trying to Rephrase the question:

Photos Received from WhatsApp get stored automatically to the same folder as the picture clicked from the phone . So how to create separate folders for both by default?
