I'm trying to understand what your asking; the app is installed on the phone and the photos are saved into a folder on the same phone (as well as auto saved to a cloud storage of you have that enabled). Do you mean the default folder? Or do you mean that you want the app to take a picture and up load it to the cloud but not save it on the phone? If that last is the case, them I don't think it's possible on an Android phone.

sorry for being unclear

what i meant is when people send me pictures on like whatsapp / facebook or similar it auto downloads it to the phones folders, under the same name as the app.
Why i want to avoid it is as i get a lot of unnecessary pictures there so instead of having to go in and delete them all the time this would be a simpler option if it now is possible!

That sounds like it's an app setting. Check your Whatsapp & Facebook settings.

If you download, it will go into the phones storage. That's what download means. Maybe you don't want the photos to actually download? I don't use those apps so can't help you out any further, sorry. My guess is though, that the app doesn't view the photos on the web, since it's an app it downloads to the phone. If you just want to view, then I'd suggest use the web page via your favorite browser. Then photos will stay on the web and not downloaded to the phone.
