[feature request] period syncing (every x amount of time to sync pictures again).
I would definitely buy/purchase an application on my iPhone that does this(one time purchase only and not a subscription).

This is a great idea (and something I've been thinking of for a while now).
The issue with this is that currently the tokens for WhatsApp + GAPI aren't actually stored anywhere (on purpose). They are kept in a memory cache that is deleted when the session ends.
The tokens that the app receives are pretty strong and it's a big privacy and security risk to store them anywhere, which is why the app currently behaves this way.

All in all this is a feature that I want for myself as well, but I need to think about it a bit more.
If you have any suggestions here, I'd be glad to hear them.

Maybe save them locally encrypted?

It goes without saying that it will be encrypted, it's still a liability which I'm not sure I would like to undertake.
