How can I save Media files from Telegram to gallery automatically?

Even with the fierce competition from Signal and WhatsApp, Telegram continues to hold its fort in the Instant Messaging space. It’s the preferred way to communicate among friends and family due to several reasons. The prime reason is the platform’s ability to send up to 2GB of files over a conversation. The problem arises when the downloaded photos and videos don’t show up in the phone gallery. The Telegram app requires relevant permissions to download and save photos to your gallery app.

In Telegram, the option to automatically save incoming photos and videos might need to be activated manually from the mobile app (not from the desktop one). If you just installed the app on your device, you need to enable this option to ensure that all the pics you receive via chat will automatically show up in your Gallery app.
