WhatsApp update: You will soon be able to manage chat storage on your smartphone
The messaging app gives you basic details on the storage but soon you can have more data on the kind of content using the storage, especially if you also have signed up for WhatsApp Business. WhatsApp beta users on iOS are seeing the feature roll out and we expect the official release to happen in the next few weeks.
FollowWhatsApp messages take up a lot of space on your phone, therefore most of us require the cloud storage backup feature. The messaging app provides minimal storage information, but you will soon be able to see additional information about the type of content being stored, especially if you have signed up for WhatsApp Business. WhatsApp beta users on iOS are seeing the functionality roll out, and we expect the official release in the coming weeks.
WABetainfo reports on the latest WhatsApp beta feature, saying, "WhatsApp has introduced a new feature for some beta testers that allows them to filter their conversation list to easily manage device storage. Users may now organise their discussions by certain kinds, such as channels, making it easier to focus on the most important material while optimising storage."

Giving them detailed data guarantees that they don't eliminate essential content in favour of photographs, screenshots, or even those obnoxious Google Morning gifs. WhatsApp channels have become equally vital for its user base since its introduction and the filtering option between your personal chats and channel content will definitely be a welcome move. WhatsApp is now delivering this capability to select iOS beta testers, with more expected in the coming days.
