Help!!! Whatsapp Is Killing Me!! by drberry(m): 10:15am On Feb 06, 2017
Hello guys please I need some help seriously. I use an Infinix Hot Note Android mobile phone. My whatsapp sucks more than half of my monthly data subscription. I've tried everything I know but to no avail. All media auto downloads are off but nothing. I even stream videos on Facebook and YouTube but my whatsapp consumption is more than they both when I only download few pictures and very few videos.
embarassed
What else can be done?

God bless you.

Click on the Whatsapp nd turn on "Restrict Background Data"

Try that nd see if there's any change.

Browse through your WhatsApp settings and disable the option for automatically downloading pictures and videos...those are the worst culprits
Re: Help!!! Whatsapp Is Killing Me!! by Nobody: 1:39pm On Feb 06, 2017
my friend delete yourself from those 13 groups if you like yourself they are the ones zapping your data with all the useless pictures and videos that they post that's why your data doesn't last.

You're definitely a participant at many whatsapp group. Unless you toggle this setting to "No media" under "Data usage" within the WhatsApp, WhatsApp will automatically download any video, pictures and audio toy receive within those groups which means less savings for your monthly data subscription.

Haba Oga, the satisfaction you derive from the conversations on WhatsApp, should outway the cost.

You don't have to be actively chatting, once your data is turned on + pictures + voice notes + videos gets delivered = subtraction of data bundle...........
