Can files be moved off of Whatsapp?
Discussion
Install the WhatsApp desktop version on your laptop, start it up and scan the barcode with your phone's whatsapp and it'll link them and you can save the images on the desktop one.

Or just plug a USB cable between your phone and laptop and copy-paste.
You might need to enable file transfer when you plug the cable in though. Otherwise the file system won't show on your laptop.It should be an option once you connect the cable and the phone detects the laptop.

Trying to get some images from Whatsapp on to my laptop. Can't see any way to send to another App just between WhatsApp contacts?
What type of phone?On my Android device I can find the folder where WhatsApp stores images (using the file finder) and copy/transfer them as required.

The "save as" seems to work although I have to save them one at a time. Will try the other suggestions too to see if there is a quicker way and/or multiple pics at once.
TX.
As above just do the desktop and login using the barcode scanner on your phone app.

All my Whatsapp images are saved to the camera roll (enable in whatsapp settings).
If I want any images on another device, I then save them from the camera roll to One Drive.
This is using iPhone, but I would imagine it’s exactly the same on Android.
Correct. Google Photos > Library > WhatsApp Images. You can then sync/save to Google Drive or copy the pic to Google Photos to open on the laptop thorugh the browser.If I want any images on another device, I then save them from the camera roll to One Drive.

There is also a 'WhatsApp Videos' folder there too with - unsurprisingly - videos from WhatsApp.
