Since uploading photos and videos over WhatsApp is so fast, and since those files are instantly stored when they are received, the app can fill up the capacity of a phone very easily without even actually understanding it by the user.
— WhatsApp Inc. (@WhatsApp) November 3, 2020 The “Whatsapp storage management tool” helps users to search and delete the unnecessary files that obstruct the app, and the phone on which it is installed, in volume, saving energy for more productive stuff. The latest version has been significantly improved and is more user-friendly, since users can now see a detailed summary instead of having to review individual chat boxes. With the addition of data listings and thumbnails, this provides a better way to review the content that takes up space, making the deletion process more effective. Particularly for Indian users who typically become members of many family and friend groups, where users often forward messages, videos and photos, this tool might come in handy.
