Using whatsapp in my HTC one mini M4. Everything is working fine with my whatsapp but downloading of media content is automatic even after disabling. I have disabled auto download from both wi-fi and mobile-data but still voice messages are getting downloaded. Please suggest some way to stop voice messages getting downloaded every time.
If you are using WhatsApp on your Android Smartphone, one of the usual annoyances is that the app automatically downloads media files by default like audios and pictures.

Tap the 3 dots on top of the screen to access the Settings then go to “Chat settings” and then select “Media auto-download”.
On the next screen, you will see 3 options:
Tap each option and uncheck all 3 options inside:
This will disable the auto-download.
