Telegram is an instant messaging app between users that is used by millions of people around the world. The application contains many features that made it a strong competitor to other social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook. One of the most important features in Telegram is the cache feature that allows users to temporarily save content within Telegram that they send, such as images, videos, audio files, text files, links and other posts within the platform.

Telegram cache
As I told you, one of the most important features of Telegram is the temporary memory feature, and this feature allows and enables users to control what they send within the platform, and to ensure that it does not publish content that they feel may be misleading or inappropriate before sending it to others. It also allows to save content that they want to view later at some point, such as the photos they see in their photo collection, the photos they want to edit, the photos they want to send to other people at a later time, and many more.
However, it should be noted that the content that was saved in the cache within Telegram is deleted after a specified period of time, so it cannot be relied upon as a permanent memory in the platform, and it should not be relied upon as a backup memory. Also, be careful to preserve your cache content, as it may contain personal information that should not be shared with others.
Cloud storage is an example of smart storage in Telegram, which allows users to store their photos and videos without the need for local storage, and allows access to them from anywhere in the world, provided they have an Internet connection.
Telegram also supports local storage, where users can store conversations, photos, videos and audios on their device, and they can be accessed at any time without the need to connect to the Internet.
There are many secondary tools that can be used with Telegram to improve storage, such as smart device applications for storage, which allow users to store conversations, photos, videos, and audio on their smart device, such as a smartphone or tablet, and allow users to access them at any time without the need for Internet connection.
Caching is important in the Telegram platform, as it allows users within the platform to store new conversations, photos, videos, and audios for a specified period, after which they are automatically deleted to free up the required space within the user's device.
After we explained to you what type of storage and memory is used in Telegram, we will mention to you some details about the new update to the storage format in the Telegram application.
Storage Usage: Telegram does not need additional space to run on your device. You can clear cached media from your phone and keep it in your chats, ready to be re-downloaded any time you want. All conversations are stored in the Telegram cloud, except for secret conversations, as they are encrypted, and no information and details about them and the content within them will be stored in Telegram.
Just head to Settings > Data & Storage > Storage Usage and try one or all of these options:
- adjust the automatic removal settings; To clear cached media, after a certain period with separate settings for private chats, groups, and channels, with exceptions provided for certain chats.
- set the maximum cache size; If the cache reaches this limit, the oldest media will be removed.
- Find the largest media items with custom tabs and detailed pie charts; You can manually clear these items from the cache, or select specific conversations that take up a lot of space.
