Disable gallery from auto creation photo album

[khoo]

Hi all, 

Is there a way to disable the gallery from auto create photo albums (eg: whatapps, screenshot)?

Doesn't appear to be. But if you move the photos to any other album and empty the auto-created one, the album will disappear. It will, however, be recreated next time you take a screen shot or download an image from those apps.

I see. thanks!

@khoo Gallery only creates those albums when the associated app creates the album folder in memory.

Is there a way to off it? thanks!

There is no way to turn that off in the Gallery. But, you can disable it in WhatsApp so the photos don't appear in the Gallery.
