Say I have a photo A
taken by the phone camera. It is stored somewhere, but can be seen in the stock Gallery app as well as the Google Photos app. Q1
:Are both apps using the same physical copy or are there two copies?
Then, say, my WhatsApp has a photo B
I received in a conversation. It is I presumed stored in /WhatsApp/Media/whatsApp Images
. It can also be seen in the Gallery and Photos apps.
My WhatsApp has backup set to Back up to Google Drive Daily
using Google Account X
. Q2:
Is this a special arrangement between Google and WhatsApp, because I cannot see anything regarding this in https://drive.google.com.
In the Photos app, Settings, Back up & Sync, the BACKUP ACCOUNT is Y
, my other Google Account I have configured on the same phone. In the Back Up device folders
details, WhatsApp Images
is enabled. Q3:
Does this mean that my WhatsApp photo B
is backed up to my Google Drive in account Y
as well as the special WhatsApp backup in Google Drive in account X
?
