Thank you! That's what I get for quick scrolling through the settings. I for sure thought it would have been under Privacy (for this concern), but that makes sense too.

So, just to confirm my understanding, if one goes into those settings and disables all auto-download, that helps- but, then a user will manually download images, correct? Are they still vulnerable to this issue then at that time?

Ah I made the same mistake.

Whatsapp has this option and I'm pretty sure it is in privacy settings.
