Worldwide, more than 2 billion people use WhatsApp to communicate with their contacts, but despite that, there are tools that most of them are not aware of. We’re also aware that WhatsApp eventually takes up a large percentage of storage, which is reasonable considering how frequently it’s used. In this article, I will tell you how to free up WhatsApp space without losing your important files.

How to free up WhatsApp space without losing the files you care about

Did you know that WhatsApp allows you to manage the files and chats you have in a simple way? That’s right, there is a section where you can find the amount of data consumed, the space each one takes up, as well as a category of the largest files. Next, we’ll see how to do that:

1. in tab conversationtouches More options > session.
2. He presses Storage and data > Space management.

In the following screenshots, you can see the path of how to access this section. Similarly, you can estimate how much space media, WhatsApp apps, and other items displayed at the top of the screen are taking up on your device.

In this section, you can choose to delete files larger than 5MB, as well as see which chats have the most occupied amount of data, make manual selections and delete as many as you like. It is important that you pay attention to the choices you make to avoid losing the data that you care about. To delete items, you can choose between two options:

• Remove all items: Touch Select all if you want to remove all items at once.
• Delete individual items: Touch and hold an item you want to delete. Select More Items to remove multiple items at once.

We previously reported that for this section, WhatsApp is launching an additional entry point to Letters disappear. The aim of this tool is to help you manage and save space, by configuring the disappearing messages, the chats you have will be automatically deleted from time to time, depending on the configuration.

If you want a large number of files to accumulate in the future, you can configure automatic downloads. This is very useful in case you want to prevent any “low storage availability” issues in the future or just to keep things in order. I recommend you look at automatic downloads; Follow the following steps:

1. in tab chats, touches More options > session.
2. He presses Storage and data > Auto download.
3. Deactivate the check by clicking on each box.

• If you disable Wi-Fi and mobile data downloads, media files will not be downloaded automatically. You will need to manually click on each file to download it.
• If you turn off auto-download on mobile data only, media files will automatically download only when your phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, such as your home Internet connection.
• If auto download continues on both Wi-Fi and mobile data, media files will download automatically as long as your phone is connected to the Internet.
