Hello Mr_RmmN,

This happens because WhatsApp stickers are saved as .webp files in your phone.

To hide them from Gallery / My Files, do this:

01. Open Samsung Gallery app > Tap 3 dots menu (⋮) > Hide albums > Select WhatsApp folders like "WhatsApp Stickers", "WhatsApp Images" and hide them.

02. If you want to hide permanently from My Files too:
Go to My Files > WhatsApp > Media > WhatsApp Stickers > Create a file named ".nomedia" (with the dot). Just create an empty text file and rename it.

03. To stop future stickers/photos showing in Gallery:
Open WhatsApp > Settings > Chats > Turn OFF "Media Visibility"

After this, restart Gallery app. They will not show anymore.

Let me know if it worked!
