WhatsApp is one of the most famous in the world. In addition, everybody has several groups on WhatsApp and the sum of photos, videos, links, or files that are shared is tough to maintain. However, you can look up the photos and videos in your Gallery and further files in the download. But, what if you want it in one storage space and don’t want to jump on unusual apps to look for it.
WhatsApp allows users to check all files shared on the messaging app itself. Nevertheless, if you have deleted the file or photos from the phone, you will be unable to see it on WhatsApp. The excellent thing is that you also get a search option for both documents and links. For media, you have to scroll and manually find the photo, which is pretty obvious. I liked the fact that WhatsApp lets you find any photo in the chat as well as your phone’s Gallery. So, you are not required to manually search for them in the Gallery or chat. You also get the option to delete the media, but that will only happen for you and not for the sender. WhatsApp allows you to delete any message in one hour and after that, you cannot get rid of for the person on the other end.
