How to delete messages

We insist on buying devices with a lot of memory. And the truth is that in the end, we always end up being fair. It happens that we neglect cleaning tasks and in the end, WhatsApp groups of family and friends end up filling our photo and video gallery.

Until now we had to do it manually. And it was a real nuisance. This or install a third-party application that will help us with cleaning And that at the same time will help us get rid of duplicate photos and other junk content that they occupy in vain your computer's memory.

Luckily, WhatsApp already has this function natively. Yes, from now on you can delete WhatsApp messages, photos and videos to free up space from the tool itself. It's easy and fast. But you have to know how to do it. If you haven't released this functionality yet, we'll tell you how to do it in the blink of an eye.

2. Then go to Data & Storage > Storage Usage. It is the second option that appears on this screen.
