How to solve memory problems with WhatsApp

The WhatsApp instant messaging application can take up a large amount of available internal storage space on a phone. This creates a serious problem for users who use this application from a phone with little internal storage, since the WhatsApp application saves all its content precisely in the internal memory. In this article we indicate some tips to free up space on your mobile phone and thus be able to continue using the application to keep in touch with your friends and family.

This tutorial is oriented towards the version for Android of the application WhatsApp , but in other operating systems the steps to follow are quite similar. In addition, the ideas indicated below can be carried out without the need for much knowledge in the use of modern mobile phones.

How to solve memory problems in WhatsApp

1. The first thing we have to do is enter the application of WhatsApp (we simply leave open the screen with all our conversations that we opens when entering the application).
2. Once inside the application, click on the additional menu button of the phone (usually it is a button with the drawing of a rectangle and some parallel lines inside) and we will see how a tab opens with several options.In this tab we must click on the option «Settings«.
3. On the screen that will open now we must click on the option "Chat settings".
4. From this new screen we can perform many of the actions that must be carried out to solve memory problems with this application. First we can click on the option «Automatic download. de multimedia«, and if we have not done it before, we must deactivate the automatic download of images and videos in order to manually download only the files that interest us.
5. Then we will return again to the "Chat settings" screen and we will see that two settings appear at the end of the list of options: “Delete all chats” and “Empty all chats“. In the event that we have no choice but to delete our conversations in order to continue using the application, we must click on these two options.Let's not forget that in this way all our conversations will disappear, but in some mobiles with little internal storage there is no choice but to perform this action periodically.

Although it is true that these are very simple tips, in the vast majority of cases we cannot do much more to free up space with the application of WhatsAppThere are other much more complex methods that require making changes internally to the phone, but it is not something that is accessible to a normal user who only wants to make the most of the internal storage available on their phone.
