How to Export Individual/Multiple WhatsApp Media Files

Export media files only

To use this method, you'll need to confirm two things:

• Make sure that all pictures and videos are loaded. To do this, you can play them first to see if they are loaded or not. Usually, unloaded files (pictures/videos) are not available for exporting or downloading.
• Make sure you have given WhatsApp the Read & Write permission on your iPhone, which gives WhatsApp developers access to your entire Camera Roll. This behavior is not good for data security, so we recommend you change it back to "Never" after exporting WhatsApp files.

Step 1．Go to the Settings on your iPhone. Scroll down to find and tap "Privacy". Tap "Photos" > "WhatsApp" > "Read and Write."

Step 2．Then, go to WhatsApp, locate and tap on the chat or group that contains media files you want to export.

Step 3．Select the desired video/image you want to export. Tap the share icon (the little square with the arrow erupting out of it) > "Share" and then select the desired way to share.

It's tedious to export photos and videos one by one, especially when you have a lot of photos/videos to download or export. To avoid tedious manual operations, we recommend you give WhatsApp the permission to auto-save photos to Camera Roll by using the following steps. Also, you can apply the same way to stop WhatsApp auto-saving pictures/videos to your Camera Roll. Here's how to do it.

Step 1．Open WhatsApp on your iPhone and then tap "Settings" > "Data and Storage Usage."

Step 2．On the next page, you can choose which type of media files can be downloaded and under which internet circumstances. You'd better select Wi-Fi as the default download circumstance since large media files may consume a lot of cellular data.

How to Export an Entire WhatsApp Conversation

Step 1．Go to your WhatsApp app. Select the desired individual or group conversation that contains the media files you want to export. Tap on the name of the individual or group conversation to show its detailed information.

Step 2．From the showed information, tap "Export Chat," and choose whether to include media or not. If you want to include media, just select "Attach Media."

Step 3．Then, you can choose your desired method (Message, Mail, Add to Notes...) to export chat history.

The exported file is a ZIP file containing .txt documents. And if you attach media, the media file is in .mp4 format. By the way, if you only want to export contexts, taking a screenshot is a quick and useful way to do it.
