Overview
- The shortcut appears for some testers in WhatsApp beta for Android v2.25.31.13 and iOS TestFlight v25.31.10.70, with availability expanding in waves.
- Functionality mirrors the existing Manage Storage screen, letting users view, sort by size or date, and delete media within a specific chat.
- Users can perform bulk deletions and mark important items as starred, with pinning options also observed in Android testing.
- Per-chat access reduces steps for routine cleanups, which is especially useful in media-heavy group conversations.
- Easier local cleanup can help free space and prevent slowdowns, a growing need as WhatsApp backups count toward Google Drive storage limits.
