On the other hand, if we talk about social media, its craze has also increased a lot. You don't even realize how the day passes with scrolling, chatting, and sharing posts on social media. On the other hand, the most important platform on the phone is WhatsApp. Here, all your work is done, from personal to official. So now let's come to the point. You must be sharing media on WhatsApp, such as transacting photos and videos. Do you know how fast it fills up your storage? But there is one feature, which if you turn off, you will never face storage problems. Let's check.

What is the name of this feature?
