Hidden Media Folder in GB WhatsApp Pro v18.80
Keep received photos and videos out of the phone gallery — they stay accessible only inside the chat.
How it works
What Hidden Media Folder actually does
GB WhatsApp Pro can exclude chat media from the device-wide media scanner. Photos and videos still sit inside the app and inside the chat, but they will not show up in the phone gallery, in screenshot tools, or in any other app that lists media. Per-chat control, so you decide which threads get the hidden treatment.
Activation
How to enable Hidden Media Folder
4 steps, ~2 minutes. Settings persist across app restarts and updates.
-
Install GB WhatsApp Pro v18.80
If you haven't already, download the latest GB WhatsApp Pro APK from gbwhatts.pro and install it over the existing WhatsApp or as a fresh install. Hidden Media Folder ships built-in — no extra modules or plug-ins.
-
Open the GBSettings menu
Open the app, tap the three-dot menu in the top right, pick GBSettings. Every GB WhatsApp Pro-specific feature lives under this menu — separate from the stock WhatsApp Settings.
-
Navigate to the Security section
Inside GBSettings, tap Security. Hidden Media Folder is one of the toggles in that panel. Tap to open its sub-screen.
-
Enable Hidden Media Folder
Flip the top toggle to ON. Most settings take effect immediately; a few (like custom themes or fonts) ask you to restart the app — accept the prompt and GB WhatsApp Pro reopens with the change applied.
