We all have been there where our phone’s storage has run out due to media on Whatsapp chats. These chats are mainly WhatsApp groups of friends and family with a lot of memes and “Good Morning” messages. Most of the times, these media are useless, but the chats are not, and you might want to keep them. So, if you are in the same situation and want to delete only media from chats then here is how you can do it.

If you are in a family group, then you might know the pain of filling up your Gallery with useless “Good Morning” and “Good Night” messages every day. But no more here is how you can turn off auto-downloads of Media on all and specific WhatsApp chats on iOS and Android.
For android
Go to the setting and chat option and turn off Media Visibility to stop the media of all chats from showing on Gallery. But if you want to do this for specific chats then:
- Open the chat/group
- Select the three dots on the top right corner and select contact/group info

For iOS
If you want to turn off media saving from all chats and groups, then go to settings>chats and turn off save to camera roll option. For individual chats/group, you need to:
