One of such features is the way that WhatsApp save the photos and videos in the phone gallery without our knowledge and permission. You may have joined many groups and at the end of the day when you visit the phone gallery, you see hundreds of photos and videos automatically downloaded and saved in your phone gallery.
This is basically a default setting in the WhatsApp that whenever your phone is connected to Wifi, WhatsApp would automatically allow the groups you have joined to download the photos and videos presented by those groups. Sometimes it is just annoying because they take up huge space and make your phone to perform slowly. But sometimes it is annoying because those photos that it downloads automatically are not decent or appropriate. It is embarrassing if someone find out about those photos in your phone gallery.
