WhatsApp working on new Storage Space feature

WhatsApp is working a new tool which will allow users to manage and clean up their smartphone storage, potentially improving the performance of their device.

This is according to a report by WABetaInfo which referenced data in the latest version of the WhatsApp beta for Android.

Just like that guy that cleans up my yard in the night without my permission.

Google Chrome does the same, using SwReporter. Next time your fans spin up and your PC levitates out the door, check Task Manager for the SwReporter process. Apparently it's for scanning your PC for malicious files (not a browser's job), but the 'reporter' in the name makes me think that Google is after all that njommies telemetry data.

You cannot disable it, you can only cripple it.

I don't agree with any of this. I see WhatsApp (desktop) also now has a Rooms feature, linking WhatsApp and Facebook Messanger. If you want to use your Oculus VR, sorry buddy, you must sign in with a Facebook account. Harooh? <scooby doo suprised face>

No thanks just more bloat.

I don't believe in cleaning apps very much, they just make my phone sluggish and consume part of RAM memory. However, if Whatsapp releases such an app, I'll give it a try.

Yes and your phone uses more battery since apps have to start up again.

Since Ice Cream Sandwich and the inclusion of the stock Android task manager, there is no reason to use an app like this anymore. Future additions like Doze Mode, Adaptive Battery, and other Android features not only make apps like this useless, but could actually cause significantly higher battery drain.
