WhatsApp Starts Rolling Out MediaHub on Web and Mac

The desktop-focused hub centralizes recent media to make files easier to find.

Overview

  • MediaHub appears as a new sidebar entry that gathers recently shared photos, videos, links and documents across chats.
  • An integrated search lets users filter by sender, date or image caption to locate files without scrolling through conversations.
  • Management tools include multi-selection for deleting or forwarding multiple items and sorting by date or file size.
  • The rollout is gradual and began reaching some WhatsApp Web and macOS users on November 10, according to WABetaInfo.
  • Timing for availability in the Windows app has not been specified.
