4 ways to free up space on WhatsApp: delete large files
If you don’t need the media files weighing more than 5MB, you can easily delete them. Just tap on the “Files larger than 5MB” option and select the files you want to delete. You can preview files before deleting them.
Delete content from specific conversations
Now if you have conversations that take up a lot of space because of the amount of photos, videos, audios or documents shared in them, you can delete part or all of their content. Just tap on the conversation you want to clear and select the files you want to delete.
Delete files manually
For more control over what you’re deleting, you can review and delete files one by one. Just tap and hold the file you want to delete, then tap other files to select multiple files at once.
Remember to be careful when deleting the files as they will be permanently deleted. Don’t delete anything that is important or valuable to you.

This function allows you to configure the messages in some conversations so that they are automatically deleted after a period of time determined by you.
