WhatsApp groups can run with memes and videos. All these media take up valuable storage space on Android phones. Here is how to reduce the storage space of WhatsApp without deleting the application.
WhatsApp has built-in storage management tools for Android. Using this tool, you can quickly see which conversations are taking up the most storage space, and then enter and clean up different types of media. For example, you can only delete videos from group chats.
