How to disable telegram desktop auto media download feature

2

Im having telegram on my windows 7 desktop machine.
I wanted to know is there a way to disable the "automatic media download" option that exists in telegram desktop? which causes the app to download all photoes and voices at the moment that the screen reaches them.
The telegram which is on android platform has an option in its settings in which you can untick photo and audio inorder to prevent it from auto downloading such media, but there is no such option in the settings of the desktop version.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm interested in how to do this in web version as well. – Worse_Username – 2017-10-19T09:33:50.267

@Worse_Username There is no support for such functionality in webogram til now. If they decide to add it, since webogram is based on web, you can expect this to be added when they update their app and there wont be any version problems there. – AmirHossein – 2017-10-19T10:50:11.440

My feelings on this: SAD. – Worse_Username – 2017-10-19T10:52:54.327

Sorry, are you saying that Telegram currently auto-download on the web version? There are viruses being deployed via auto download so this is very important to know. – Luke Allison – 2018-12-09T21:47:09.800

@LukeAllison No, This question is about telegram desktop, not the web. I dont use the web version. – AmirHossein – 2018-12-10T05:23:10.140

There is an Automatic media download settings option in my version of Telegram (0.9.18). Presumably you just want to uncheck everything.
