This method is ideal if you want to manually select a specific batch of photos from a conversation to save directly to a folder on your computer.
Once selected, click the Download icon (downward arrow) in the top-right corner.
WhatsApp will download these files as a ZIP archive . Locate the ZIP file in your "Downloads" folder and extract it to view your images. 2. Using the WhatsApp Desktop App
