Video Title: How to Stop WhatsApp from Using Too Much Storage #whatsapp Purpose: This short video shows how to manage WhatsApp storage by turning off media auto-download on Android. Step-by-Step Instructions: 1. Open WhatsApp. 2. Tap the three vertical dots in the top-right corner. 3. Select Settings from the dropdown menu. 4. Scroll down and tap on Storage and data. 5. Under Media auto-download, you’ll see three categories: When using mobile data When connected on Wi-Fi When roaming 6. Tap each category to manage auto-download settings: You’ll see checkboxes for Photos, Audio, Videos, and Documents. A checked box means auto-download is enabled; an empty box means it’s disabled. Tap to enable or disable based on your preference. - Key Points: Disabling auto-download doesn’t stop you from receiving the files. You’ll still see the media in chats, but they won’t take up storage until you tap to download them manually. This applies to all internet types: Mobile Data, Wi-Fi, and Roaming. Roaming typically costs more. It’s recommended to turn this off unless necessary. Each setting is independent, meaning disabling one won’t affect the others. Customize as needed. - General information: *Originally created: 19th May 2025 7:43 PM (UTC) *Originally uploaded: 22nd May 2025 4:43 AM (UTC) *Original video creator: Swings Lape *Original video uploader: Swings Lape *Original video duration: 57 seconds *Original video type: shorts *Original video public source: YouTube *Video license: Standard YouTube License *Music status: No music included *Original voice used: Google Translate (on Play Store by Google LLC) cost-free App *Editor used to voice over: Petal Clips (on AppGallery by Huawei) cost-free App *App used to highlight screen: Draw on Screen (on Play Store by LE THANH DAT) cost-free App #whatsapp #swingslape #stepbystep #detailed #2025 #2025shorts #informative #storage #storagesolutions #management #descriptive #shorts #shortvideo #short #shortsfeed #shortsyoutube #voiceover #aivoice #whatsapp2025 #creative #nomusic
