@jacob755 When you open any image in viewer the images around are also preloaded to be able to switch quickly.

@jacob755 Why? What is the use case? because i open an image to see then if i want to see rest of that click on left right button then it get downloaded if not then its save my traffic plus if pic is inappropriate wont get downloaded too, and because telegram have automatic media download control feature i think it should control this too. although this feature can called timesaver too.
