how to set up whats up so that photos/ videos from there do not automatically save on my google photos drive?

[stripes11]

I am organising all photos on my google drive and there i a number of photos from whatsaup - the ones that i opened, i would prefer that Whatsup photos do not automatically save. please how to set it up?

Open up Google Photos and go to the three lines, left hand corner. Select Device Folders, then scroll until you see one that says WhatsApp. Touch on it then you should see a slider switch that says Back Up and Sync. Make sure this is off.
This should then stop your WhatsApp photos backing up.
Obv all phones are different but this should work.

It's in settings under Chats, click the tab on photo saving

Oops sorry, thought it was for not saving to phone!
