This type of instant messaging applications can keep a good part of the storage of our mobile. If you want to free up space on the phone you can start by deleting some files such as photos, videos and downloads. Here we explain the easiest way to do it.

Delete chats you no longer need

Sometimes we believe that the conversations stored in our application do not consume much space, however this is not the case. The more chats you have saved in Telegram, the less space you will have on your mobile . That is why it is important to learn how to delete chats that we no longer need.

2. Select the conversationsyou want to delete
3. Now clickon the three dots
4. Click on ” Delete chat” and you’re done

Deleting the chats that we are no longer using is an excellent way to free up space on your mobile. Pressing the “Delete chat” option will also delete all the photos, videos and files that you have downloaded in that conversation.

Delete files automatically

The Telegram application incorporates the option of being able to delete files automatically after a certain time has elapsed. We only have to configure our account so that the received files are not downloaded automatically. This is how you can do it:

1. Open the application and access the ” Settings” option in the central menu
2. Click on the option ” Data and storage“
3. In ” Multimediaauto-download” you can select if you want the application to automatically download all the files received.

In this section you will also find the option to ” use storage “. There you can authorize the application to automatically delete all stored files after a certain time has elapsed.

Delete files from chat

There is a fairly quick and easy way to delete Telegram files and that is to do it directly from the chat . All you have to do is select the file you want to delete from your mobile and click on “Delete”. This way we will have more space on our phone.
