NEW DELHI, Nov 3: WhatsApp has introduced a re-designed storage management tool to overcome the present delete hassles and make it more useful for users to be able to easily identify, review and bulk delete content that may be filling the phone.
The new storage management tool will enable users to create some space and clear all unwanted media files. It becomes an important feature right now given that many people were working from home and connecting with friends and family via online platforms like WhatsApp and Zoom among others.
The storage management tool will allow users to cleanup suggestions by bucketing both large files and media that have been forwarded many times, sorting files by size in descending order, and providing a way to preview files before deleting them. Additionally, WhatsApp will also allow users to see a preview of media before selecting one or multiple items to delete.
The all new redesigned storage management tool will start rolling out to users worldwide starting this week. Users will be able to head over to either google play or Apple store to get the update.
To use the new storage management tool users will have to first update the WhatsApp and then navigate to the new tool by going to Settings > Storage and data > Manage storage.
