How to choose the time that Telegram will keep the files

Telegram explains within "Storage usage" the following: Photos, videos and other files from cloud chats that you do not access during this period will be removed from the device to save space. All the multimedia will be in the Telegram cloud and you can download it again if you need it.

Depending on your needs you can eliminate it in 72 hours, 7 days, 28-30-31 days depending on the month or let it not do it in that time to keep all the files. You have to remember that the Telegram application keeps all the multimedia in the cloud if you want to recover it.

To mark the default time you have to do the following:

• Open the Telegram application from your device
• Once inside, click on the three horizontal stripes in the upper left and go to Settings
• Hit Data and Storage
• Now it will show you at the top the time it will save the chats files, depending on your needs you can check one of the four available options
• In "Preserve multimedia" you can mark the settings
• Below it will show you the Telegram cache, in our case it is 344,4 MB, Other data: 11,6 GB and Free: 216,8 GB
