This is not about the files you send, but ones you receive.
Some of my friends send me interesting messages (images, videos, documents) that can cause embarassment if they are visible in the gallery. So i change the media visibility of such chats to OFF:
You can set this for each contact separately by going to the View Contact setting.
Once done, all media files and documents they send are saved inside a folder called Private, within the media folder for each type of file. WhatsApp automatically creates the Private folder inside each media folder and also creates a .nomedia file inside each of them, so any app respecting this setting wouldn't show these files by default.
The My Files app ignores this when you access the libraries or the recent files list.
