WhatsApp Tackles Full Storage Issues with New Features in Beta
WhatsApp is rolling out a new set of tools designed to help users manage storage and prevent the frustration of reaching maximum capacity, currently in testing phases. The updates will offer granular control over media and conversation deletion, providing real-time feedback on reclaimed space.
These forthcoming changes address a common pain point for WhatsApp’s billions of users,particularly those who actively share photos and videos.The ability to selectively remove chats while preserving associated media files will be a notable benefit. WhatsApp will display the amount of storage freed up during the deletion process, offering immediate clarity on the impact of each action.
According to recent reports, Android users will be the first to gain access to these features, possibly within the next few weeks.The rollout will be automatic, but requires users to update the app when prompted by their device.
The new functionality focuses on allowing users to retain important multimedia files while clearing out conversation history. This provides a balance between preserving memories and maintaining optimal app performance.
