WhatsApp - Delete Useless Images Automatically - Droid Views

Fed up with the dumped images downloaded from WhatsApp messages and save to your phone’s gallery. Most of these images are a one-time watch and some of them don’t deserve even that. They just lie on your disk like garbage. Thankfully, we have some great apps that can scan and delete useless WhatsApp images automatically on a regular basis.

WhatsApp has over a billion users. It is thus not surprising if your WhatsApp messages screen is full of different threads, and groups you’ve just been added to by friends and family. Most, if not all of us receive and send a ton of WhatsApp messages every day. And we all have those friends, relatives or family, that wouldn’t miss the chance to send those motivational images. Some feel it is their duty to send Good Morning and Good Night images every day. Even if your WhatsApp circle is the more fun-loving and carefree type, you’re not safe. You’re more likely to be dumped with funny memes all the time in that case.

On Social Networking sites, these spam messages don’t affect you in any way, and you can unfollow a person without them knowing you have. On WhatsApp though, things get a bit more personal and blocking the person might not be a practical option. It could be someone close or a relative you don’t want to upset. Your only options are to either disable automatic downloading of images altogether or sit back and select each image individually and delete it. Unless your entire WhatsApp folder is full of useless dumped images, in which case you can just delete the entire folder.
