Storage Usage. Telegram needs
zero extra space to run on your device. You can clear cached media from your phone, while
keeping it in your chats – ready to be re-downloaded at any time.
Just head to
Settings > Data and Storage > Storage Usage and try one (or all 💪) of these options:
1) Set up
Auto-Remove to
clear cached media after a certain period with separate settings for
Private Chats,
Groups and
Channels – and
exceptions for individual chats.
2) Set a
maximum cache size – if your cache reaches this limit, the oldest media will be removed.
3) Find the largest media items with
dedicated tabs and
detailed pie charts and manually clear them from your cache or select
specific chats that take too much space.
