It may only be Galaxies and Motos  or certain ones of those.
Maybe. I'll try to test it out later

I never really paid attention to it but realizing now when I delete a picture on my WhatsApp and it asked me if I want to delete it from my media it doesn't delete it, it seems to still be saved when I go to my gallery.
Was it asked up to Google photos?

Even should my photos be backed up on my Samsung or Google Cloud ,once I select for it to be deleted from my media it should be erased from my gallery as well.

If your WhatsApp is automatically backed up to Google drive then when it's deleted it will still show up in you Google drive but not in your phones gallery

I just discovered that 2 weeks ago (on regular whatsapp), and I was told that it isn't too new.
Maybe it was one of those things they pushed 4 months earlier for Apple users

Is there a way to select select videos from a group/chat to delete? ( I'm assuming not )

How about in the actual chat, by media?
I had a lot of fun with this for 2 days when I found it, tried finding the most messages I had with someone, I got almost 11,000 in a few months with one person!

Does that delete the media from the phone?
