The Android file system handles this situation differently than Windows, so you see different photos. The problem is caused by a "filename collision", where multiple files (pictures) have the same name.
If it were just a display issue I could live with it, but it isn't the images get completely replaced by wrong ones if I try to copy them like this, making it impossible for me to copy the correct originals. When I look at them on my phone, it shows the correct pictures, but when I look at the same folder from my PC, I get this. There are some more mix-ups like that throughout my whole Whatsapp imgaes folder. The picture of the sister of my girlfriend is nowehere to be seen when viewed from PC. That picture was actually taken over a months after january 11th and it is also there under its correct file name. The same picture is now suddenly showing my parents and my grandparents while we're going on a walk. I looked at the same folder from my PC, this is what it shows: It's a picture of the sister of my girlfriend with her little daughter. Take a look at IMG-20160111WA0003.jpg (the fourth one from the top).
Here's an example (sorry, not allowed to post links to imgur as a new user, so I have to place the acutal images here): I compared them to the ones I still have on the phone (didn't delete them yet) and realized that the content of some images was somehow replaced by other images from somewhere else in the folder.
However, when looking at the images from my PC, I noticed some of them seemed to be duplicates. I tried copying my Whatsapp images to my PC since the folder was starting to grow pretty bloated. Hi, I'm new here, just looking for someone who can explain something strange I noticed this morning:
