How many photos do you have stored on your iPhone of WhatsApp black? And Julio Iglesias memes? We have all suffered it. The WhatsApp groups have become a prison from which we have no escape. Groups are made for everything: co-workers, parents from school, groups of friends from the town, to buy birthday gifts, to organize a simple meeting to have a drink... And what happens afterwards is that many of them remain in the time despite having fulfilled the purpose for which they were created and they entrench our phone, filling it with memes and videos that are supposedly funny and thatthey end the memory of our iPhoneUntil now we had two options regarding this, either leave the group, which for some unknown reason usually costs us a lot, or uncheck the WhatsApp auto-save option, thus sacrificing the rest of the chats. It seems that the developers of the messaging app have heard our prayers and in their latest update for iOShave introduced an option that allows us to disable auto-saving in the specific group(s) we choose.
How to disable auto-save in WhatsApp groups
To deactivate it enter the application and look for the specific group from which we don't want it to be saved no file in the memory of our iPhone Press on the name of the group and this will take us to the information screen where the participants appear, and all the group options such as sound, notifications or starred messages .Right on this screen, below the mute option (mute), we have the “Auto-save files” , if we click on it, a window will appear with the available options that we can execute in this group, or by default, this will depend on the option that we have selected by default in the application, that it always saves them or that never save them. We select the option that interests us, in this case "never" because what we want is to save space on our iPhone, and the selection will be saved automatically. We return to the group information screen and make sure that next to "Auto-save files" is written "Never" .
As we see WhatsApp is adding a lot of new options in its latest updates following user demand and also catching up with its competitors.A few days ago we mentioned that in the latest update of the Android versionhad included the possibility of adding rich text with bold and italics as already supported Slack for some time. In the field of security many new features have also appeared, even as far as we are concerned in this article: groups. Since the last update, messages sent in groups will be encrypted for greater security and privacy for the user as well as in voice calls.
