Your
phone's internal storage
can say much more than just how much space is left for storing photos, documents, or files.
In fact,
launched a tool last October that can even help us reveal with which contact you share the most of these kinds of files.
The
overexploitation of videos and images
, especially those that arrive through messaging services on cell phones, can gradually fill the memory of the equipment, at least in relation to the one
occupied by the messages or audios
.
And many times you have no notion of who is sending it.
WhatsApp, which has more than 2 billion users, is
one of the platforms that can send more content directly to the memory of the mobile
, taking into account the number of messages and multimedia files that arrive daily through chats and groups of a digitally active person.
To have greater control of the content, the messaging platform included a
search bar a
few months ago
whose results show photos, videos, links, GIFs, audio, documents and even related items along with the chats.
Through
storage analysis
, a kind of "trick" that many use for more than just knowing the state of their cell phone memory, the user can investigate in depth who is sharing more content.
With whom are photos and videos shared the most
Keep in mind that
the groups may
also
appear
in the list of results produced by the messaging app,
taking into account the amount of information that can come from them.
Even a group could occupy the first place, in which case the only thing that would have to be done is to take into account the first chat that is typical of a person to know who it is with whom the most videos and images are shared.
From the Storage and data option you can access the WhatsApp search tool.
For this you must open the WhatsApp application on the Android or iOS cell phone.
Then, locate the three dots that are in the upper right part of the screen.
With one touch you will enter the drop-down menu, where you have to choose
Settings
.
On the next screen you will look for the
Storage and data
option
.
The Manage storage option will not only show the files that are stored on the cell phone.
Now all you have to do is click on the first tool, which is
Manage storage
.
Finally, a new screen will open in which
the space occupied by
multimedia files
will be shown in detail
, as well as the storage occupied by applications and other elements on the cell phone.
Information from WhatsApp media files will also reveal the list of most shared contacts.
Of course, you will also see a list of the people or groups with whom you share videos and photos the most in the application.
Chat migration
The stellar announcement of the new cell phone with a folding screen
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3
was accompanied by another one referring to the WhatsApp messaging service.
The platform confirmed this Wednesday the function that allows
migrating the conversation history between Android and iOS devices
.
WhatsApp presented this novelty that also includes
voice notes, photos and conversations
, in a fluid and safe way when changing mobile operating system.
In this way, users can switch between the platforms of their choice and take beyond their conversation history to the device of their choice.
Samsung confirmed during the Galaxy Unpacked event that the ability to move chat history
will come first to Samsung phones, starting with the new foldable Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3
.
