WhatsApp will soon roll out a redesigned chat clearing feature for Android devices to help speed up and make more accurate storage management. The update, which is now available in the Android 2.25.34.5 beta, contains helpful tools that let users delete just the content they no longer need while keeping important messages intact. The upgraded feature promises better visibility and real-time information about storage, targeting users who are most prone to having overflowing media files.

New interface: real-time storage display

The latest update brings a fresh bottom sheet layout that previews everything to be deleted. It helps the user recognize precisely which photos, videos, or text they want to remove. Additionally, the real-time storage display shows how much space will free up after cleanup. Since large groups often bear heavy media files, this improvement ensures smooth control over storage without having to dig through many menus.

Starred messages remain safe

WhatsApp now adds a protective step for starred messages. During cleanup, the app will confirm whether the user wants to keep starred texts or media. This prevents accidental deletion of memorable photos, important reminders, or essential information. The added safety layer ensures that only unnecessary content is removed, keeping valuable data secure.

iOS-style layout and easier access

The update also redesigns how the Clear Chat option is positioned. It now sits right at the bottom of the chat info page, similar to the layout on iOS. Because of this, those who frequently clean up their chats can manage their conversations in a shorter amount of time. This easy access makes daily maintenance easier for users who handle multiple active chats.

When will you get the update?

The feature is currently limited to selected beta testers, but the wider rollout will begin in the coming weeks. Once the stable update arrives, Android users will see the new chat clearing option after updating the app. The enhanced experience ensures WhatsApp remains efficient, intuitive, and easy to manage.
