Are you having trouble saving WhatsApp videos to your iPhone or iPad? While the settings you'll need might be tricky to find, it's actually very easy to save videos from WhatsApp both manually and automatically. This How.com.vn article will teach you two easy ways to download videos from WhatsApp to your iPhone or iPad, and show you what to do if you can't find videos in your camera roll.
Steps

Tap Save. It's next to a download icon (a box with an arrow pointing down) near the bottom of the menu.- You'll be able to see the saved videos and photos from WhatsApp in your camera roll after you've Saved them.

The right permissions may not be selected and prevent WhatsApp from saving your media.
