How to disable auto download of media in Telegram ?


As soon as we login to the Telegram app, we can notice that the media gets auto downloaded as we browse through the chats/groups/channels. 

The auto download of media files can be controlled in the Settings. Here is how to do it.

1. Open Telegram and tap on the hamburger icon at the top left and tap on Settings


2. On the Settings, tap on the 'Data and Security'

3. Scroll down to the section 'Automatic media download'. Here we can see the media that are set to be auto downloaded for Private Chats, Groups, Channels


4. Tap on it and deselect all the check boxes and tap on SAVE


5. Once all the check boxes are disabled for Private Chats, Groups and Channels then it should show 'Nothing' as shown in the below image. 

Done!. None of the media file gets downloaded automatically now but can be downloaded manually by tapping on the image/video/file/document
