WhatsApp Launches Media hub for Simplified File Accessโค on Desktop
SUNNYVALE, CA – WhatsApp has begun rolling out aโค new “Media Hub” feature for its webโข and Mac applications, designed toโ streamline the process of finding recently shared photos, videos, and documents. The update โaddresses aโข long-standing user frustration – the difficulty of locating specific files within lengthy chat histories.

The featureโ includes an integrated โsearch function allowing filtering by sender or caption, even if theโฃ original chat is no longer easily recalled. Beyond the overview, the Media Hubโฃ offers management tools, enabling users to select and delete or forward multiple files โsimultaneously. Files are displayed โคin a grid view with sorting options by date or โคfile size.
According to reporting from WABetaInfo, the โคrollout is happening in stages and currently reaching initial users of the Mac andโฃ web versions. Availability for the Windows version remains unconfirmed.WhatsApp is โactivelyโ developing its desktop version to better manage increasing data volumesโค and improve โoverall โuser experience.
