#8: Stop Auto Download For Apps

Some applications like Telegram, WhatsApp provide auto-download for Media.

When any user sends you video, pictures, or audio then the app automatically download it, whether you wish to see it or not. And this eats the storage of the device.

  • Next, tap on Storage And Data.
