The default setting in WhatsApp is to automatically download and save photos received in Chats to the Photos Gallery on your Android Phone.

This setting is designed to make sure that WhatsApp Photos remain on your device, even after they have been deleted from the Chats.

However, going with this default setting can result in tons of unwanted WhatsApp Photos and Videos being automatically saved on your device.

The solution for this issue is to disable WhatsApp media auto-download option and manually Save WhatsApp Photos to your phone, only when required.

1. Prevent WhatsApp from Automatically Downloading Photos
