Hello.
Have a Samsung photo and recently when I take a screenshot and go into WhatsApp to share it, I can't as the photo isn't there on any gallery.
The same applies to photos I take outside of using the camera in WhatsApp.
I can sshare via the share button I'm the gallery but that's awkward.

Help please!
