How to clean Telegram in 1 minute without deleting anything: there is a solution

How to free up memory in Telegram: follow this simple procedure / photo REUTERSTelegram, like other modern messengers, has an amazing talent to grow in size and occupy a significant part of the smartphone's internal storage.

In order to fill up the phone's memory with "telegram", it is not necessary to intentionally accumulate gigabytes of information, for example, to send 4K movies to "Saved". To do this, it is enough to use it as usual - scroll through the news, exchange photos, videos and other media content. All this takes up memory.

For clarity, we will give an example: go to the settings on your phone and study the total size of the programs. Most likely, Telegram or your main messenger for correspondence takes a dozen gigabytes, if you have never "cleaned" it before.

Fortunately, this situation is easy to fix. Sure, you can just delete Telegram, but re-downloading will bring all the gigabytes back. There is a more radical method - clearing the cache. On iOS and Android, the algorithm is the same:

• Go to Telegram settings
• Go to the section "Data and storage → "Storage usage".
• Click on the "Clear cache" option.

The cleaning process usually takes less than a minute. It is important that in this way you will clear the cache itself without deleting the chats themselves with correspondence and important information. Then, when the messenger starts to take up a lot of memory again, the procedure must be repeated.

If you are an active user of Telegram, it will not be superfluous to set the maximum cache size to 5 GB. You can also configure the messenger so that it automatically cleans the cache (removes garbage daily, weekly or monthly).

We emphasize that reinstalling Telegram does not solve the problem of extra gigabytes, since re-downloading the program will return all documents back. But during cache cleaning, all unnecessary garbage will be removed.

A similar procedure can be performed with other messengers. The same WhatsApp when viewing photos or videos by default saves all content in the gallery. Therefore, it also needs to be cleaned from time to time.

In the event that Telegram is not to blame, and there is still a lack of space in the phone, UNIAN talked about an unusual way to quickly free up memory in an Android phone. You don't need to install anything or fiddle with the settings - it's enough to dial a short number in the "bell".
