When it comes to data consumption, WhatsApp, the world’s most popular messaging platform, is no less than any other program, even when users do not use their phones evenly. Because of this prevalent issue, users frequently waste their carefully planned data. According to a report by Media run Search UK, real-time messages, information updates, and apps are constantly running in the background.

The report also advises users to set alerts to monitor particular actions that take up data packages. It involves limiting media updates, broadcasts, and browser searches. However, some of the apps can be blocked from using data while actively running in the background. In addition, users can focus on conversations in the app rather than only making calls to limit the number of times they open the app to read the same chats and by not simply using WhatsApp for calls.

By following the above procedures, users can also stop WhatsApp from connecting to the internet. Notably, users of Android and iPhone devices can turn off this feature to conserve mobile data.

According to reports, a future update to WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, would provide the ability to restore deleted messages. WaBetaInfo claims that the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.13.5 version features a feature that enables users to retrieve accidentally deleted texts. There is a caveat with this feature, though. When an attempt is made to erase a message for you, users will see a snack bar, according to an image given by WaBetaInfo in its report. If they had previously decided to delete the message for everyone, WhatsApp users in this situation “will have a few seconds to recover the message.”
