Hi,
I have enabled dual WhatsApp on my device but recently the second whatsapp image can't be seen in gallery (the whole folder is missing) however the image can still be seen in the chat.
-Tried connecting to a pc and looking for the images in explorer shows that all the images have a file size of 0KB and can't be open.
-the setting (view downloaded image in gallery is turned on
-reinstall both whatsapp and restoring does not changes anything, images still can't be seen in gallery
any idea how to fix this ?

Did you turn on the media visibility in settings.
in whatsapp >>>settings>>>chats>>>media Visibility On
if it doesnt work delete the
.nomedia File - use your file manager to find this

Yes i did turn on the setting.
Tried deleting the file you mention and no difference.
My girlfriend note 20 ultra is also having the same issue.
edit: I just did a reinstall of the second whatsapp. I can now see the folder in gallery but when looking inside file manager, there is no folder for whatsapp images.
Looking wired to me....
Try this...
If you are using Google photos as your default gallery app, then there are chances that your WhatsApp images will show in your Google Photos app if you used the ‘delete local copy’ or the ‘free up device storage.’ Therefore, check Google photos to view your WhatsApp images.
Else clear Cache & data from WhatsApp from the list of applications in Manage Apps
it will surely help you

I've been looking at Desktop Virtualizer, I like the idea, just testing things out at the moment.
I have found this website http://www.iconspedia.com/
If I had photoshop around I would make my own to suit, but there are some really good icons there, and they can be downloaded as .png format.
What I would like to know if people have any idea, is there a way to hide these .png files that i'm saving in the gallery?
Thought I would share the above with you, a lot of sites do psd files too, haven't checked if Desktop Virtualizer will recognise .psd files, but as a graphic designer in another life, there freely available to use such, aslong as you're not putting them in ROMS

This is what I do...any images you don't want showing in gallery place a .nomedia file in the containing folder. I specifically create folders for images I don't want showing as I find it easier to manage that way...One thing to note: this method hides all media not just .pngs...
You can create a .nomedia file by saving a blank text file (e.g windows/notepad) filename: .nomedia and save as type: All Files
After that you *may* need to:
Go to settings - apps - gallery
Clear cache, clear data, force close
Go to settings - apps - media storage
Clear cache, clear data, force close
Hard reset (cold boot) this will not delete any data
Next time you open Gallery it may not contain anything, but give it a minute while the system is still scanning the device & you will find that only the folders you want to be visible, are visible.

it sees new pics taken but nothing else. old photos are visible in other apps, file explorers etc see these fine. they open manually in the gallery if i choose to open one via file explorer.
wth?
Same here. Old photos (from a backup of stock 4.1.2) are not shown in the Gallery app. Newly taken photos are visible. File manager shows all files correctly in /sdcard/DCIM/Camera. The Settings menu of the Gallery app is a completely empty window.
I tried deleting the data of the Gallery app using Titanium Backup, but it didn't change anything.
Any ideas?

put a .nomedia file in the same folder and clear your gallery data. This will prevent the system from scanning that folder for images.
.nomedia file solved my issue. Thank you very much.
Recently I tried to hide unnecessary images from gallery by putting a .nomedia file in that folder. After that I realise I have put the file in the wrongly in my SD card root folder causes some of my picture won't be displayed in the gallery. And then I deleted the file but it still not showing up in the gallery. Any idea how I could solve this???
*QuickPic and ES File Explorer can open and view the pictures just fine, but the stock Gallery app cannot. I really need the stock Gallery app to work because I need to choose my own lockscreen wallpaper.

Usually gallery doesn't show the files in the folder starting with a dot " . " . They are hidden folders. Another time this will happen is when you have a "nomedia" file in the folder. If one of this is the problem you can check it by going thorough a file manager app like ES. You to turn ON "Show hidden files" in settings.

If your gallery is not working, there are many gallery apps available on the play store. Try one of them.
