In summary
Turn off auto-download
Go to WhatsApp Settings > Storage and Data > Media Auto-Download. Set photos, videos, and audio to “Wi-Fi only”. This stops videos from eating your data in the background.
Use low data mode
In the same menu, turn on “Low data usage” for calls. Calls use way less data and still sound clear.
Mute heavy group chats
Groups that send 20+ videos a day drain data fast. Mute them and only open when you’re on Wi-Fi.
Download over Wi-Fi only
Save files, voice notes, and images when you’re on Wi-Fi. That way you’re not using mobile data to re-download them later.
Check usage regularly
Go to Settings > Storage and Data > Network Usage to see what’s using your data. Adjust settings if it’s too high.
