WhatsApp is the world's most popular messaging app. But i find it annoying that WhatsApp automatically Download photos and videos. In the default setting, WhatsApp will immediately download all picture (image), voice (sound), and the video that we receive on a private chat or shared in the chat group.
For some users it may be easier for them to access their files , but for others it can be very disturbing. Moreover, if the user follows a lot of chat groups that often share pictures and videos, they should periodically remove pictures and videos from their smartphones.. of course it is very troublesome. Not to mention the fact that the photos or videos that were shared are not suitable for public consumption or for children.
