Select what you want to delete in WhatsApp without losing valuable information

Perhaps you have noticed that many times what can consume space on our cell phones not only comes from the applications we download or the photos we take, but from the external files that we have due to other applications such as the case of WhatsApp.

This messaging network stores both multimedia files, links, documents and conversations that you have with a person, and although it is certainly very useful when saving valuable elements that are in them, other times it only represents a waste of unnecessary space for elements that in they are actually garbage.

One of the easiest ways to delete things of WhatsAppis to go to your photo gallery on your cell phone, there find the folder that has the name of the application and just click “Delete”.
