WhatsApp has revolutionized instant messaging. Messaging apps have become an essential communication tool for individuals around the world. However, frequent use of this popular platform to interact with friends, family, or clients can consume a lot of storage space on your device. The daily influx of messages, humor, and videos in WhatsApp groups can eat up precious storage space on your iPhone.
In order to solve this problem and optimize storage, it is necessary to understand why WhatsApp consumes so much space and explore effective solutions.
When it comes to clearing WhatsApp storage, there are two main methods on iOS:
Manage personal chats and media:
Step 1: On your iPhone, open the WhatsApp app and go to Settings.
Step 2: Now tap on the “Data & Storage” option and then scroll down and look for the “Storage Usage” option.
Step 3: You will now see a list of all WhatsApp conversations sorted by the amount of storage they consume.
Step 4: At the bottom of the screen, select the “Manage Storage” button and click on a person’s chat to see details of their storage usage (by photos, videos, documents, and messages).
Step 5: From there, tap and hold on the media item you want to delete and then click on the “Clear” button.
Clear all WhatsApp data:
This method is useful if you want to quickly delete all WhatsApp data (including chats, media, and settings) from your device. However, keep in mind that you will lose all your messages and media permanently.
Step 1: Open WhatsApp on your phone and tap on “Settings”.
Step 2: Then click on Chats, scroll down and click on Clear All Chats.
Step 3: Enter your phone number to verify and click Clear All Chats again.
Remember, no matter which method you choose, back up important chats and media before proceeding to avoid losing them permanently.
The following guide explains how to minimize WhatsApp storage usage on your phone:
Automatic download settings: Adjust automatic download settings for media (photos, videos, and voice messages) so they only download when you click on them. This prevents unnecessary storage consumption.
Chat backup: If you want to keep a backup of your chat history, activate iCloud Chat Backup in WhatsApp settings. This will back up your chats to iCloud, freeing up space on your device.
Disappeared message: Enable disappearing messages for all or some chats to manage space. Set the default timer for when messages you receive and send disappear.
