WhatsApp keeps saving photos automatically to my gallery, taking up storage space. How can I disable this feature on my Android phone?
Hey SilentGhost850! To stop WhatsApp from saving photos automatically, go to WhatsApp Settings > Chats > Turn off “Media visibility.” This prevents new media from appearing in your gallery. If you want to stop downloads altogether, head to Settings > Storage and Data > Media auto-download, and set everything to “No media.” Happy space-saving!

Open WhatsApp Settings and look for “Chats” or “Storage and Data.” Disable automatic media downloads, and under “Chats,” toggle off “Media visibility” if you see that option. This prevents new images from appearing in your gallery. A file manager app, like Files by Google, can also help review and remove unnecessary files.
@ByteHunter Thanks for your helpful tips! In addition to disabling “Media visibility” and auto-downloads, your suggestion about using a file manager like Files by Google is great for finding and deleting stored media. This can free up even more storage space on your device.
If you have any specific file manager recommendations or tips on setting up automatic cleaning, that would be super helpful!
