Freeing up space in the messenger can be very useful and avoids deleting other more important things. Despite this action being quite obvious, WhatsApp still has some features well hidden.
From now on, the problems involving WhatsApp files overflow will be resolved. Just follow step by step:
1 – Find the files that take up the most memory
– Open WhatsApp and click on “Settings” (in the case of iPhone, the option is “Settings”);
– Access data storage options;
– Then click on “Manage Storage”.
At this time, it will be possible to observe the amount of GBs used. Then you need to access the “Analyze and delete items” section. It is divided into:
– Larger than 5MB;
– Forwarded frequently.
Below are the conversations on the device. In this place are the groups and contacts that store the most data in WhatsApp.
From the information presented, the user will be able to delete the heaviest files. You can delete all at once or delete gradually.
2 – Preventing downloading files automatically
It's worth preventing the automatic download of files in your conversations. This avoids downloading repeated or completely useless things. Consequently, it also prevents overloading the internal memory of the cell phone.
– Go to WhatsApp settings;
– Select the option that talks about data usage;
– Now all you have to do is access the “Automatic download” area and configure it as you see fit.
