WhatsApp has just introduced a new storage management tool that allows users to get rid of duplicated files easily.
The new storage management system has already been deployed globally allowing WhatsApp users worldwide to get rid of duplicated videos and images.
WhatsApp has designed a new storage management system that identifies videos and images that were shared repeatedly and over time.
WhatsApp originally stored everything from individual chats and analyzed text messages, videos, and photos transmitted by users in detail.
Users were allowed to delete these items to make more phone storage available. Now, WhatsApp can use its new storage management system to recognize the photos and videos that show up repeatedly and put them in organize them according to the storage they occupy.
The tool also lists photos, files, and videos according to file size, and forwarded multiple times.
Users are now in a position to preview the selected lists and deleting them either piece by piece or in bulk.
WhatsApp will also notify users whenever their phones are about to run out of storage for new media files and messages.
After receiving the new update, you will be able to go to the WhatsApp settings, tap ‘Storage and Data,’ select ‘Manage Storage’ to access the new storage management system.
WhatsApp now displays a bar graph of the storage in use by WhatsApp. The new tool categorizes videos and images under ‘larger than 5MB’ and ‘forwarded many times.’
You will be able to review the selections and delete items by storage space.
This new storage management system will enable WhatsApp users to open up storage in their phones. The tool will prove useful for smartphone users, particularly the ones who struggle with storage space on their phones.
