MediaRelay automatically backs up WhatsApp photos and videos to a separate Google account — then safely clears them from your phone.
No relay servers. No access to your chats. Your media goes directly from your phone to Google.
WhatsApp is essential, but it creates a messy photo problem. Here is why Android users get trapped:
Thousands of memes, group forwards, and screenshots get mixed directly into your precious family photos and vacations.
WhatsApp media silently consumes 15 GB, 25 GB, or more. Your device constantly prompts you that internal storage is running out.
You want to delete files to reclaim space, but you have no certainty whether they are actually backed up or gone forever.
MediaRelay watches the folders you choose and uploads their media to the Google account you designate.
MediaRelay automatically detects your WhatsApp Images and WhatsApp Videos. You can also pick WhatsApp Business or custom folders.
Sign into the Google account where you want your WhatsApp media stored. Pick a dedicated album (e.g., "WhatsApp Backup").
Files are verified with a remote Google Photos item ID and file fingerprint before being offered for cleanup. Free up gigabytes in one tap.

Every upload, scan, and verification event is logged clearly. You can inspect exact file names, sizes, timestamps, and upload statuses anytime.
Files are only offered for cleanup after verification. Nothing is deleted in the background. You review items and confirm cleanup explicitly.
Upgrading phones? MediaRelay's device memory tracks backed-up file signatures so you never re-upload duplicates when moving to a new Android device.
When dealing with personal photos and device storage, there is zero room for guesswork.
Media bytes stream directly from your phone to Google Photos REST API endpoints over TLS 1.3. We do not run any intermediate storage servers. Your photos and videos never touch third-party servers.
Files are only offered for cleanup after MediaRelay verifies the remote upload and matches the file fingerprint. Nothing is automatically deleted. You always confirm cleanup yourself.
MediaRelay does not access, read, or decrypt WhatsApp databases, chat histories, or text messages. It only interacts with media files in public media folders through standard Android APIs.
If network connectivity drops or cloud status is unavailable, MediaRelay immediately enters a safe hold state. It will never recommend clearing media when verification cannot be guaranteed.

No, absolutely not. MediaRelay has zero access to WhatsApp chat databases, text messages, or encryption keys. It only interacts with media files stored in your device's public media directories (such as WhatsApp Images and Videos) through standard Android MediaStore APIs.
Never. MediaRelay operates on a Zero Relay Server architecture. Uploads are streamed directly over encrypted TLS connections from your phone to Google Photos REST API. No intermediate server ever touches, views, caches, or stores your photos or videos.
Files are only offered for cleanup after MediaRelay verifies the remote upload and matches the file fingerprint. Nothing is automatically deleted. You always review eligible items and confirm cleanup yourself via Android's system dialog.
MediaRelay follows the principle of least privilege. We only request permission to upload new photos and manage the albums MediaRelay creates (photoslibrary.appendonly). We cannot delete, edit, or view your existing private Google Photos library.
MediaRelay features a cross-device memory ledger that records anonymous cryptographic signatures of your backed-up files. When you log into MediaRelay on a new device, it recognizes already-saved media so you never waste bandwidth uploading duplicates.
