So far, we’re not seeing this Manage Storage option on iOS yet, but it appears to be available on Android for now, based on the video shared by WhatsApp.
For users with smartphones that have limited storage, bulk deleting attachments is one way to help free up storage. Apple offers this option on iOS for iMessage. Just go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage and go to Review Large Attachments. Then just tap ‘Edit’ and start selecting the videos you want to bulk delete.
