San Francisco, 24 October: Meta-owned WhatsApp has begun rolling out a new beta feature called 'Manage Chat Storage' to eligible Android developers. The feature offers several benefits that users did not previously have. It allows them to manage storage directly within the chat info screen, whereas earlier they had to navigate to Settings and then the 'Storage and Data' section.

WhatsApp's new 'Manage Chat Storage' feature is still in development; however, it will be rolled out to all users in the future. With this feature, users can easily manage their storage without going through multiple steps to remove or retain specific multimedia items according to their requirements. Grok Companion New Member: Elon Musk’s xAI Working on New Anime AI Assistant Called ‘Mika’, Likely To Launch Soon.

Using this new feature integrated into the chat info screen, users can locate large videos and photos and delete them from their storage. Previously, they had to access Settings, then Storage and Data Manage Storage to identify large files, which were then categorised by contact. The 'Manage Chat Storage' option allows users to go directly to a specific contact's WhatsApp chat and remove files. The tool offers a quicker way to delete unwanted items and also supports bulk deletion operations directly from the chat info screen.
