Hi, To resolve the issue of WhatsApp chat images appearing in your gallery on your Samsung S24 Ultra, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the File Manager app on your Samsung device.
2. Navigate to the "WhatsApp" folder.
3. Within the WhatsApp folder, look for a subfolder called "Media."
4. Inside the Media folder, you might find a subfolder named "WhatsApp Images" or similar.
5. Create a new file in this folder and name it ".nomedia" (without quotes).
6. This ".nomedia" file tells the system not to include this folder in media scanning.

After doing this, your WhatsApp images should no longer appear in the gallery.

If the issue persists, you can also try restarting your device to ensure that the changes take effect.

Did the question on how to create a .nomedia file ever get answered because I'd love to know how to do this on my samsung s21 ultra because having all my WhatsApp etc photos/media appearing in my camera roll is really really annoying
