Are you a member of several WhatsApp groups?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you getting several forwarded videos in these groups?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you get “Good Morning” messages with pictures?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the same video forwarded on several groups?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are some of the issues most people are facing today. Thankfully there are a few solutions available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop Media Auto-Download<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to WhatsApp Settings -> Storage & Data<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select the type of media (Photos, Audio, Video or Documents).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There you will find the option to turn off auto-download of photos, audio, videos & documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By selecting \u201cNever\u201d, that type of media will not download automatically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This setting applies to all chats and groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This method is very effective. You can simply ignore all media and only tap and open the media you want to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manage Storage (NEW OPTIONS!)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WhatsApp has added fantastic new options to clean up media (pictures, audio, video & documents).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These settings can be found under WhatsApp Settings -> Storage & Data -> Manage Storage<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Under Manage Storage, you will find an option called \u201cReview & Delete Items\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is broken up into two groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Media Larger than 5MB<\/li>
  2. Media Forwarded Many Times<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Simply go into these options and select the media you want to delete. It doesn\u2019t matter which chat the media was in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This also removes duplicates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
