[br][br]Images take the bulk of storage space on your phone. If you haven’t bought cloud storage on Google Drive or even Dropbox then chances are you end up deleting stuff after every few weeks. But this is avoidable, especially if you make the right changes to your phone’s settings.[br][br]You’ll be surprised to know that popular messaging platform WhatsApp, running on your phone, can easily tackle the storage problem for you, once and for all.[br][br]So, before those ‘Good Morning’ forwarded messages fill up the phone’s storage, here’s what you should do right away.[br][br]As you can see here, images from WhatsApp are the biggest culprit for running out of storage and thankfully, there’s a way to make sure it doesn’t become the villain in your life.[br][br]Head over the Settings on WhatsApp, which can be accessed by clicking on the three dots at the top right of the screen. From there, you need to click on Chats, where you need to disable the Media visibility option. This ensures that none of the newly downloaded media (image/video/audio) is added to the phone’s storage.[br][br][br]

[br][br]But let’s say, if you don’t want to disable this feature for everyone, and there are some contacts whose media content you want to be stored on the phone, this is what you need to do.[br][br]From the chat window of that particular contact, click on the three dots at the top right, select View Contact and over there you can enable Media visibility, which can be selected from the pop-up box, as seen above.[br][br]And if you still can’t manage the storage space on phone, it’s time you look at other (paid) alternatives to get through it.
