[Feature] Mobile app allow upload from WhatsApp

[mkjustuk]

The feature

Often, I'm sent images I'd like to add to my library (another family member took a photo while I took a video at a birthday party etc).

It would be awesome if the share external option in WhatsApp could interface with the Immich app to upload that image/video into the library there and then.

Alternatively, if there was an option in the Immich app to adhoc upload from the WhatsApp image storage.

WhatsApp saves photos you're sent in a folder on your phone (well, it does on Android anyway). So you just include that folder in those that you sync to Immich, and it's all automatic.

Thanks, yes I saw that when I added my camera folder. But I don´t want to do that, as I get sent all kinds of garbage on WhatsApp that I would never want in my library on immich so need to be (very) selective.

If you select 'Save' on an image in WhatsApp, it gets saved to a separate location on your phone's storage which you can then add to Immich.

Unfortunately that doesn´t work as the dates get all screwed up if you don´t do it the same day.
