How to delete data and clear storage using new storage management tool on WhatsApp

The Manage Storage page on WhatsApp is categorized in three parts -- Storage bar, Review and delete items and Chats. Storage bar shows a small bar indicating how much data out of total smartphone storage is being consumed by WhatsApp at the moment. The Review and delete items section is further divided into two parts -- Forwarded many times and Larger than 5MB. The Chats section shows all the media files from a particular chat or group at one place and it also organises the list based on data.

As we know that WhatsApp creates a copy of media files whenever they are shared with any contact on WhatsApp. So to delete such repeated copies of the same file, tap on Forwarded many times. Now, check whether you want to delete all the photos and videos then choose Select all checkbox from the top, or manually select the files you want to delete and tap on the Delete icon from the top right corner.

To delete files that are consuming the maximum space on your smartphone, tap on the Larger than 5MB option and delete the files you want.

Alternatively, you can also tap on any particular chat or group and delete photos and videos from there to free up storage space.

Xiaomi may launch a smartphone with 200W fast charging that can fully-charge battery in 15 minutes

 Xiaomi is reportedly working on a new smartphone charging technology that will offer 200W fast charging. With this charging solution, the smartphone with 4,500mAh battery will be able to fully charge itself from 0% to 100% in just 15 minutes. Xiaomi has already launched a smartphone with 120W fast charging-- the Mi 10 Ultra. This charging solution offers 0% to 100% battery time in 30 minutes.

Faster charging speeds are known to deteriorate the battery lifespan. So, while 200W fast charging may sound attractive, it would be interesting to see how Xiaomi manages to maintain the battery lifespan. There is no official word from Xiaomi around this technology yet. As per a report by Android Central, the smartphone may be launched in 2021.

Xiaomi recently announced an 80W Mi Wireless charging technology. As per the company, this technology is said to charge a 4000mAh battery by 10% in a minute and by 50% in 8 minutes and by 100% in 19 minutes wirelessly.

“The introduction of 80W Mi Wireless Charging Technology is expected to set a new benchmark not only in the area of wireless charging but in charging as a whole. Xiaomi has been spearheading this trend by recognizing the importance of battery life and faster charging for the future development of smartphones,” the company said while introducing the new wireless charging technology.

WhatsApp gets bulk delete feature

 Popular instant messaging app WhatsApp has announced a new feature that the company is rolling out to its users, which will help them manage the storage in the app.

The new feature was announced by the company through Twitter, where it said, “We’ve made it easy to review, bulk delete items and free up space. This new storage management tool can be found in Settings > Storage and Data > Manage Storage.”

As part of the tweet, WhatsApp also shared a 30-second clip that showed how the screen will appear on the app.

Firstly, the video shows that when users are about to hit the maximum limit, they will be notified with a ‘storage almost full’ banner on the top of their chat. Tapping on this will take users to the ‘Manage Storage’ screen that will show how the space is segregated between media files and ‘other’ types of content on the app.

Below that, users will find two separate sections that will highlight files that are ‘forwarded many times’ and files that are ‘larger than 5MB.’ Both these sections are meant to show users files that are not only unessential but also occupying the maximum space.

Below all this, users will continue to see their chats with other contacts and how much space each chat has taken up.

Users will have the option to bulk delete files from any of the sections by tapping on ‘select all.’ Readers must note that clicking on delete all items will only delete them from their WhatsApp media storage and they may still continue to appear on their phone as they would already be saved there.

The tweet from WhatsApp’s official account does not mention Android or iOS, therefore this feature is expected to be rolled out to users of both operating systems.

Apple iPhone 5c is now obsolete; will be tough to get repairs

 If you are still using the iPhone 5c or happen to own one it may be a good time to put it on a shelf as a showpiece and get a new iPhone. This is because it has added the iPhone 5c to the list of vintage devices. There’s no harm in continuing to use an obsolete iPhone 5c but if you happen to break it or if there’s some hardware issue it will be hard to get repairs done. Also, it goes without saying that the device will not get any iOS updates.

“Owners of iPhone, iPad, iPod, or Mac products may obtain service and parts from Apple or Apple service providers for 5 years after the product is no longer sold—or longer, where required by law. Apple has discontinued support for certain technologically obsolete products,” as per Apple's website.

The iPhone 5c with a plastic body was launched as an affordable iPhone in 2013. As per Apple, vintage products are those that have not been sold for more than 5 and less than 7 years ago. And obsolete products are those whose sales were discontinued more than 7 years ago.

Apple recently added the seventh-generation iPod Nano to its Vintage and Obsolete list of products. The seventh-gen iPod Nano, the last iPod Nano to be launched, is now officially designated as “vintage”, as it has crossed five years without seeing an update. Along with the iPod Nano, the fifth generation iPod Touch was also added to the list.
