Messengers usually store all the media files you share in your chats, as well as all your text or voice messages. This takes up a significant amount of space on your smartphone, which reduces the efficiency of the device.

To prevent memory usage, you can prevent messengers from automatically saving photos and videos to your smartphone. You can do this by changing the application settings.

Go to the "Settings" section in the messenger and find the "Data and storage usage" tab. Then turn off "Automatic downloading". This will not only reduce the memory load on your smartphone but also save mobile traffic.

Don't forget to also clear the cache to free up additional space on your device. This can be done through the settings of the messenger itself or through the settings of your smartphone. If you want your smartphone to remain efficient, you need to free up memory space in time and maintain the correct application settings.

If you have scratches and scuffs on your gadget, it's easy to polish the screen of your smartphone or tablet, but you should be careful not to damage it. You can easily remove scratches on your smartphone screen with toothpaste.
