WhatsApp is making it easier for users to keep their phones running smoothly. The popular messaging app has rolled out a new tool that helps clear out storage without forcing you to delete entire chat histories. This update is a big help for anyone who loves saving photos, videos, and voice notes but hates running out of space.
The feature, called “Manage Storage,” lets you pick and choose what to remove. Instead of wiping a whole conversation, you can target big files like high-res images or long video clips from specific chats. It’s simple to use—just go into the app’s settings, tap on “Storage and data,” and you’ll see a breakdown of what’s taking up room. From there, you can preview and delete items one by one.
This comes at a great time, as phones get filled up fast with daily shares. WhatsApp says the tool will save users hours of scrolling through old messages. Early tests show it can free up gigabytes of space in minutes. No more tough choices between keeping memories or buying more storage.
The update is already live for Android and iOS users worldwide. If you haven’t seen it yet, check for app updates in your store. WhatsApp keeps adding smart fixes like this to make chatting less of a hassle. What do you think—will this help your phone breathe easier?
