If you\u2019re using WhatsApp to send and received holiday snaps you might know that it automatically downloads and saves the images and videos sent by others to the Camera Roll. This can quickly fill your memory, cluttering it with unwanted media, which takes up prime space that could be better used for\u00a0other things.<\/p>\n

Luckily, it is pretty simple to disable the auto-download function of WhatsApp.<\/p>\n

Option 1:\u00a0Your Phone Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Go to \u201cSettings\u201d on your device. Then scroll down and tap on \u201cPrivacy”<\/p>\n

– Tap on \u201cPhotos\u201d and turn off the switch for WhatsApp<\/p>\n

Any images or videos sent will stay within WhatsApp and won\u2019t get stored in your Camera Roll.<\/p>\n

Option 2:\u00a0Whatsapp Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Open WhatsApp and tap on \u201cSettings\u201d (Bottom menu bar – cogwheel)<\/p>\n

– Tap on \u201cChats”<\/p>\n

– Disable the switch for “Save Incoming Media\u201d. By default this is set to on, which is green<\/p>\n

This will stop Whatsapp from saving any media to your \u201cCamera Roll”.<\/p>\n

Saving Specific Images and Videos<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can save specific photos or videos to your Camera Roll\u00a0by manually tapping on the images and\u00a0video, then clicking\u00a0the \u201cShare” button and selecting “Save Image\/Save Video”.<\/p>\n

And there you go, less memes in your camera roll and more room for capturing new moments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
