The feature to manage storage in WhatsApp is categorized in three parts, Storage bar which shows a small graphical representation of how much data is occupied from total storage, Review and delete part which is again divided into two segments – Forwarded many times and Larger than 5 MB where you can easily delete forwarded messages that you do not want and delete files that are larger than 5MB. The third part of this feature is Chats which will show you all media files that are available in a particular chat or group. It is also sorted by which group or chat occupies the most storage in WhatsApp.
As we all know that whenever a media file is forwarded, WhatsApp creates a copy of it on the smartphone so with this feature its going to make the procedure easy and less time consuming.
