WhatsApp is rolling out a redesigned storage management tool to remove junk messages. The tool was spotted online earlier this year. The new storage management tool gives WhatsApp users the ability to manage the storage on their phones. Through this, users can easily identify the storage content and delete it in bulk. The tool also makes it easy to find and delete unnecessary files that were forwarded or shared multiple times using the instant messaging app.

Earlier, WhatsApp only listed chats under the ‘Storage Usage’ section, allowing users to free up some space on their phones. However, after the new changes, the experience has become better than before and now users can easily manage their phone’s storage. Now through a new interface in the form of a dedicated bar, the tool will show you how much storage is being taken up by WhatsApp media content along with other apps. There’s also a dedicated option to view media files that are forwarded multiple times through the app. It helps to easily find and delete unnecessary forward files.

The redesigned storage management tool lists files that are larger than 5MB in size. Additionally, you’ll get the ability to sort files by size and preview them before deleting them. The redesigned tool maintains the existing chat list, where you can see the threads that are taking up more storage.
