WhatsApp makes it easy to free up storage space

By Europa Press

WhatsApp has designed a system that allows you to view and manage storage on the platform, which now distinguishes two tabs, chats and channels, and improves the task of freeing up space dedicated to images, documents and videos.

Developed by Meta, this messaging service has a section where you can check your current storage and data usage, network usage and automatic file downloads. This tab is located in the Settings section.

The 'Manage Storage' folder shows in-app storage and free storage. It also shows chats with saved contacts, files shared with them and their size.

The company has replaced this section with new filters that differentiate the space allocated to chats and channels. Likewise, it has implemented a tab that connects the two tabs, 'All'.

Discovered in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android 2.24.10.8, available to testers through the Play Store, the 'app' seeks to focus users on specific types of content.

Likewise, the format makes it easy to identify conversations or channels that are taking up too much space, thus speeding up cleanup and freeing up storage space.
