On Android 

Hiding WhatsApp media on any Android phone is quite easy. You don’t need any third-party app- instead, you can use WhatsApp’s built-in Media Visibility tool in the app’s setting. That’s it. From now, all the downloaded images, videos, gifs, memes, etc. won’t show up in your Android phone’s gallery.

On iPhone

On iPhone or iPad, you can restrict all the downloaded WhatsApp images from appearing in the main gallery either through iOS’ Privacy Settings or through WhatsApp itself, given below. OR Doing so will stop WhatsApp images and videos from appearing in your iPhone’s gallery. The Privacy Setting can also be used to hide pictures from other social media apps like Instagram, Facebook, Skype, etc.

If you don’t want pictures received from a particular WhatsApp contact in your phone’s gallery, you can selectively disable media visibility for that specific person using the steps below. Videos and images received from that particular contact or group chat will no longer appear in your phone’s main gallery.
