WhatsApp Tests Per-Chat Manage Storage in Android and iOS Betas

The change surfaces storage details inside each chat to streamline clearing space.

Overview

  • A new Manage Storage entry appears in individual chat info screens for some beta users, first spotted by WABetaInfo.
  • Testers can view how much space a conversation uses and quickly delete large photos, videos, or documents from that chat.
  • The tool supports sorting and targeted cleanup, offering more granular control than the existing global Manage Storage screen.
  • Availability is limited to select Android and iOS TestFlight builds, with no confirmed timeline for a wider release.
  • This per-chat view complements the current Media, links and docs section by adding file sizes and easier bulk removal.
