Whenever I'm just checking the WhatsApp for messages OR downloading any document photo or any video, the whatsapp GIF gets auto downloaded & saved in my phone's gallery even not downloading GIF in WhatsApp. In settings I have disabled auto download option but still these GIFs are getting downloaded automatically. 

Is there any option to stop auto download of GIF from whatsapp?
