How do I stop my phone from downloading all the stickers in messenger automatically?

[Fury1988]

I am temporarily using an LG Premier Pro LTE. It seems to be downloading all my stickers and some ads from Facebook messenger automatically. I have already gone on to the messenger settings and the automatic download switch is off. How do I turn this feature off?

Welcome to Android Central! The app is most likely caching those images for quicker access, and the directory where the app is caching them doesn't have a .nomedia file in it (which ought to be present -- this instructs the system to ignore that directory when scanning for images to add to the Gallery database). You can add a .nomedia file yourself to that directory -- use any file manager app to create an empty text file with that filename.
