If you’re using an Android phone, WhatsApp will automatically back up your chats to your Google Drive every day at 4 a.m. by default. This can be useful if you ever need to restore your chat history, but it also means that all of your WhatsApp photos are taking up space in your Google Drive. Luckily, there’s an easy way to disable this feature.

Open the WhatsApp app and go to Settings > Chats > Chat backup. From here, you can tap the “Back up to Google Drive” setting and select “Never”. Once you’ve done this, WhatsApp will no longer automatically back up your photos to Google Drive.

How to stop WhatsApp from sharing photos with your contacts

When you download and install WhatsApp on your phone, the app will ask for permission to access your photos, videos, and files. If you allow WhatsApp to access your photos, videos, and files, the app will be able to automatically save any media files that you receive from your contacts in the app. The media files will be saved in a folder on your phone’s storage.

If you do not want WhatsApp to have access to your photos, videos, and files, you can disable this feature in the app’s settings. Once you have disabled the feature, WhatsApp will no longer automatically save media files that you receive from your contacts. Instead, you will need to manually save each file that you want to keep on your phone.

How to stop WhatsApp from sending photos in full resolution

If you want to stop WhatsApp from sending high-resolution photos, you’ll need to go into the app’s settings and change the ‘Image Resolution’ setting. To do this, open WhatsApp, tap on the three dots in the top right-hand corner of the screen, then tap on ‘Settings’.

Once you’re in the Settings menu, tap on ‘Chats’, then scroll down to ‘Media Settings’. In the Media Settings menu, you’ll see an option for ‘Image Resolution’. By default, this is set to ‘Original’, which means that photos will be sent in their full resolution. To change this, tap on the drop-down menu and select either ‘Low’ or ‘Medium’.

Once you’ve made your selection, WhatsApp will automatically send photos in the lower resolution that you’ve chosen. If you ever want to change this setting back to ‘Original’, simply follow the steps above and select ‘Original’ from the drop-down menu.

How to stop WhatsApp from compressing photos

When you send a photo through WhatsApp, it automatically compresses the image to reduce the file size and help saving data. This can often result in a lower quality image, which is especially noticeable when you compare the photo side-by-side with the original.

There are a few ways to avoid this compression and send photos in their full quality, but it’s important to note that this will result in larger files which will take longer to download and consume more data.

If you still want to send full-quality photos on WhatsApp, here’s how:

  • Open WhatsApp and go to the chat where you want to send the photo.
  • Tap on the + icon and select Photo Library.
  • Select the photo you want to send.
  • find the Share button , usually represented by an arrow.
  • Tap on that button and select WhatsApp as your sharing option.
  • Your photo will now be sent without any compression.
