WhatsApp is, without a doubt, the application that we use the most in our day to day. Due to all the content that is sent in the same app, it tends to take up a lot of space on our cell phone, whether it is for photos, videos, audios, gifs, and other files. As a consequence, many times our phone tends to overheat or become very slow and we don’t know why. However, there is a very efficient method that will allow you to identify the chats that take up the most space on your cell phone, so that you can clean them yourself.
It does not matter if you are an Android or Apple user, because this native trick comes by default in the application settings. The best thing is that to do it you won’t need to download any third-party application nor will you have to make any extra payments.
