Can't share from my Gallery app to WhatsApp

[user5fuYshGMTc]

How do I fix my Gallery app so I can share pics with friends on WhatsApp without that having to download them? 

Anyone, please help...

You need to give WhatsApp permission to use your photos. Otherwise you won't be able to share them to WhatsApp.

I fixed it by going to My Files and deleting all .heic files. I downloaded a Pic my daughter sent me from an iPhone last night. Try it!

That doesn't sound like a good idea at all. You never know what you're actually deleting in there unless you're a programmer. It's better to have the phone or app tech support tell you to do it rather than just taking the word of a stranger and deleting things. You never know if they're doing malicious things or not unless you know them.

It's in your WhatsApp settings. You need to give permission to use your photos in gallery.

Thank you all 🙏

I have permissions enabled for sharing photos to whatsapp in phone settings-->Apps-->Whatsapp-->Permissions

But I still can't share properly photos from my gallery on a Galaxy S24. All after the update of my phone in the end of september. Any other clue?

Finally solved thanks to another thread:

Need to go to :
