Whatsapp has now added redesigned its storage management tool, which makes the job of users easier to free up space on their phone.
The new tool will be rolled out this week.
The new tool will be available to the users by opening the app, then going to settings> Manage storage.
The new “Storage Usage” tool provides the thumbnail of the content to be deleted, and groups them in categories like “Forwarded many times” and “Larger than 5 MB.”
.
With this new feature, users can easily identify content which they don't need and simply delete it. There will be no worries about deleting important data which might be needed at a later date.
It is to be noted that earlier the tool only used to simply sort data by the amount of space they take up, listing out the number of photos, videos, GIFs in each chat. However, it did not give the users a way to browse the content they want to remove.
Recently, WhatsApp has also confirmed its new exciting disappearing messages feature which, once enabled, will make new messages sent in individual or group chats disappear after seven days.
As per the information provided on the support page, enabling the settings will not affect the messages previously sent or received in chat. While the users can themselves turn disappearing messages on and off for individual chats, in a group chat, only the admins will get to use the feature.
You can send messages that disappear on WhatsApp by turning disappearing messages on. Once enabled, new messages sent in the chat will disappear after seven days. The most recent selection controls all messages in the chat. Messages sent or received before disappearing messages is enabled won’t be affected.
