If you use Telegram intensively, it is likely that you will end up with several GB of images, videos, GIFs and all kinds of files in general occupying storage on your mobile phone. In addition, in most cases they are documents that we will not use again. We show you a method to end all this digital trash periodically and gain enough space on your mobile.
We can even earn several GB on a weekly basis (in my case, sometimes even 1 or 2 GB) or on a monthly basis. But do not worry about your files, because Telegram will continue to keep them on its servers (under an encryption key, of course) so that, whenever you want or when you need it, you can download it again.
That is to say, if you have deleted something important using this method, you don't have to worry: you can recover it again whenever you want simply by going to the day it was shared and opening it; Another option is to go to the file gallery of each chat and find and download it from there.
How to earn several GB on your mobile by deleting Telegram files periodically
We can program Telegram to delete the files every 3 days, 1 week or 1 month, apart from keeping them forever, the option that comes by default and which is what makes us accumulate files and therefore lose space. The most advisable thing would be every week or every month, since it is likely that during the next few days we will need to consult it, so the 3-day option could be inefficient.
How to do it is very simple: we go to Telegram, we open the hamburger type menu located on the left in the Android app or the "Settings" tab if we are on iOS. Later we access "Data and storage" and then "Storage use".
From there we can know how many GB we have specifically and that therefore we will win. If you do not use Telegram in a very active way, it is likely that instead of GB it is MB and that it is not worth it. Finally, we select "Preserve multimedia" and choose the option that best suits what we are looking for.
We can change the option we have chosen in case it does not suit our tastes, of course. This can also be done on all mobile devices from where we connect to Telegram and not just one of them.
