Has your Android or iPhone been slow lately? WhatsApp loads on all websites, but apps launch with a warning and no space to store a photo? The reason could be quite simple: WhatsApp is flooding your phone with junk data without you even realizing it. Good news: We explain how to effectively clean it all up without losing your messages.
Why WhatsApp is slowing down your phone
The issue only affects messages and photos that are visible in the app. WhatsApp calendar entries are also stored on your system. Add in the media that is automatically generated from groups and your conversations, and your phone can quickly fill up… even before you’ve downloaded it.
The signs that don’t lie:
Your phone takes a long time to boot up.
Storage space fills up quickly.
If you haven’t installed any new apps,
WhatsApp is now available, regardless of whether it is available or not.
