For people who are part of many groups tend to receive a large number of pictures, videos, and messages and clearing storage can be a tedious task. But WhatsApp has a built-in storage tool that allows the customers to check which of their chats are using their storage and sort the files by their size.
Guide for clearing WhatsApp storage on android devices
- Open your WhatsApp and navigate to the WhatsApp “chats” tab.
- The next step is to click on “more options” and then select settings.
- The next step is to select the “storage and data” tab and the storage management options will be available to you.
