WhatsApp is currently the most popular instant messaging app in the world. Billions of people send messages through WhatsApp every day. WhatsApp is used by most people to send photos, videos, and documents. Due to these multimedia files, the storage of many people's phones gets filled and people get upset. Well, you don't need to worry. You can free up the storage of the phone by doing a little hard work. Let's know...
WhatsApp usually saves photos or videos in your phone's gallery by default. In such a situation, the storage of the phone fills up very quickly. The first way to free up storage is to selectively delete photos and videos, but it wastes a lot of time.
The best way to prevent media files from being saved to your phone's gallery is to turn off automatic media downloads. In this case, the photo or video that you download will be downloaded only. You can turn off automatic media downloads for all chats. Let's know the whole process...
Open the WhatsApp app.
Now click on the three dots appearing at the top.
Now go to Settings.
Now click on Chats and select Media Visibility.
Now turn off Media Visibility.
This setting is for Android phones.
If you have iPhone, then go to the settings of WhatsApp and turn off Save to Camera Roll.
If you do not want to automatically download photos and videos sent by a particular person or group, then open WhatsApp and go to that chat. Now click on View Contact/Group Info. After this turn off Media Visibility.
