On November 2, 2020, he announced the arrival of WhatsApp.a new storage management tool In a video posted on YouTube. “We’ve made it easy to review items, bulk delete and free up storage” Explains WhatsApp in the description of the video.
Concretely, the tool highlights the items that take up the most space in the WhatsApp app, such as GIFs or videos that have been shared multiple times, or larger files (more than 5MB). The application sorts the items in descending order. Thus, it is easy to identify the ones that clutter up the storage space of your smartphone or Google Drive account the most.
How to easily free up storage space on WhatsApp?
Once the major items are identified, WhatsApp allows users to select documents and delete them with one click. To access this new management tool, simply follow the procedure below:
- Open WhatsApp on Android or iOS
- enter inside Settings
- find in Data usage and storage
- press on Manage storage
Until now, WhatsApp has been content with viewing chats based on the storage space used. The user then had to sort items by chat. Obviously a server side update. If the option is not yet available on your smartphone, you will have to be patient. There are no updates to install to speed up the vehicle’s arrival. It is expected that all smartphones will benefit from it in the coming days.
This is not the only innovation in the boxes of WhatsApp developers. Recently, WhatsApp specifically allows disabling notifications forever. Soon, the messaging app will also allow Android users to unlock WhatsApp on their smartphones with built-in facial recognition.
