Stop whatsapp auto download images

Maybe you are living the same nightmare as me: lot of friends or relatives that want to share with you anything of their life and to do this they send you lot of picture of them cleaning their foot, cooking hambuger or wearing thier new poncho. Even if, i’m sure, you are deeply interested about your friend activities (as i am), unfortunately downloading so much photos or media automatically you could exceeding your mobile data. What I did is very simple, I stopped whatsapp auto download images (and media), so now i decide when and what to download when I received media on whatsapp.

Stop auto downloading picture (and media)

The procedure is very simple. Open Setting in Whatsapp

whatsapp settings

whatsapp settings

Tap on “Chat settings

whatsapp settings chat

whatsapp settings chat

Now “Media auto-download

whatsapp settings download

whatsapp settings download

When using mobile data“, uncheck everything and then OK

whatsapp settings media

whatsapp settings media

whatsapp settings no media

whatsapp settings no media

 

Now you will see that under “When using mobile data” you have “No media”

whatsapp settings download no media

whatsapp settings download no media

From now on, Whatsapp never downlaod media if you don’t want to.
