Hello Dan
If your phone becomes unresponsive, sluggish or you simply want to start afresh. At first I thought it would be a placebo, but no, the phone is more responsive, the battery lasts longer and I kept app installation to a minimum.
Cheers
Marc

That is an even better idea. How do you do that?

Great tip Simon
I’ve also set WhatsApp NOT to download images.

Go into Gallery and look at your albums. There will be albums called Whatsapp Images, Whatsapp Movies and Whatsapp Animated Gifs. In each of these select all and then hit delete. In two clicks they’re all gone. The first time I did this the images and movies albums each had over 3,500 files. So satisfying. They accumulate again with shocking speed, so these days I do this at least once a month.
