WhatsApp can download photos and videos on its own as they arrive, and on a small travel data plan every one of them counts. On Android, tap the three dots, then Settings, then Storage and data, and untick the media under When using mobile data and When roaming, then tap OK. On an iPhone, open Settings in WhatsApp, then Storage and data, and set each type to Never or to wifi only. You still get every message. You just tap a photo when you want it.
