Do pictures/ photos of good morning and general greetings occupy lot spaces on hard drive of the mobile

Yes, accumulating a large number of "Good Morning," "Good Night," and general greeting photos—often sent via apps like WhatsApp—

can occupy a significant amount of storage space on your mobile phone over time. While a single image file is relatively small (often 100KB–500KB), hundreds or thousands of them can quickly consume gigabytes of storage. 

Here is a breakdown of why this happens and how it impacts your device:

1. The Cumulative Effect ("Digital Hoarding")

  • High Volume: "Good morning" images are often sent daily in multiple group chats. A few hundred of these can fill up storage faster than anticipated.
  • Media Accumulation: These greetings are rarely just text; they are usually images, GIFs, or videos, which have a much larger file size than simple text messages. 

2. WhatsApp and Messaging App Storage

  • Auto-Download: By default, WhatsApp and other apps automatically download media to your phone’s gallery.
  • Double Storage: Often, a received photo is stored inside the WhatsApp app folder and in your phone's general photos app (Gallery/Camera Roll), doubling the space used.
  • Hidden Garbage: Even if you delete them from your gallery, they might still be cached in the app's media folder, leading to hidden, lingering storage issues. 

3. Impact on Phone Performance

  • Storage Full Warnings: Constant, daily, automated media sharing can lead to a "Storage Almost Full" notification.
  • Slower Device: When storage is nearly full, phone performance may dip, causing apps to load slowly or the operating system to lag. 

How to Free Up Space

  • Disable Auto-Download: Go to WhatsApp Settings > Storage and Data > Media Auto-Download and set it to never download automatically.
  • Use "Manage Storage": In WhatsApp, use the "Manage Storage" tool to delete large or forwarded files.
  • Delete from "Camera Roll": Frequently clear out your gallery/photo app to remove forwarded images. 

Summary: While one "Good Morning" image is harmless, the accumulation of daily, high-volume greetings acts as "digital junk" that can significantly degrade your phone's storage capacity.
