How to Delete Useless Photos from WhatsApp on Android
Forwarded media files on WhatsApp can clutter an Android phone’s storage, especially if you’re part of active WhatsApp groups. Recently, it was reported how the excessive number of Good Morning texts can fill up our phone memory. Manually deleting WhatsApp media files is inconvenient, and disabling auto-download is impractical as you may miss important files. This is where third-party apps come in. In this article, we’ll explore how to delete unnecessary photos from WhatsApp on Android.
1. Siftr Magic Cleaner
The first app on our list is Siftr Magic Cleaner. Combining artificial intelligence and image recognition, this app effortlessly cleans your gallery. Siftr finds and removes junk pictures like comics, memes, duplicates, and greetings.
The operation is simple. Just run the analytics and Siftr Magic Cleaner will do the analysis. The results are displayed in real time.
Depending on your phone’s junk files, the process can take 5-15 minutes. However, it can run in the background.
If you don’t want a file removed, just uncheck it.
Fun Fact: You can chat with Wikipedia through WhatsApp.
2. Stash Junk Photo & Video Cleaner
Stash Junk Photo and Video Cleaner has many features, with its most notable being its super fast AI. This AI quickly sifts through image files and shares some traits with Siftr, especially in processing images in batches.
To clear the files, tap on Clean WhatsApp Junk.
Stash operates on the principle of coins. Every use earns you coins, which help you progress in the game. For example, removing duplicate files requires around 50 coins. A single cleanup earns you approximately 500 coins.
I really appreciated the app’s speed and its ability to restore accidentally deleted files. Additionally, it stores deleted pictures for 10 days. To access the Trash, simply tap on the three-dot button in the top-right corner.
Siftr Vs Stash: Which One to Use?
When choosing between Siftr and Stash, I recommend Siftr. Stash is effective at eliminating WhatsApp forwards, but the coin system may not be enjoyable for everyone. Siftr excels at categorizing images, but it doesn’t filter videos or GIFs.
Stash eliminates video files for a small fee of just 50 coins. Additionally, the app displays the number of junk files with a small bubble.
Two nifty ways to delete useless or junk files from WhatsApp on Android. The app’s image recognition is almost spot-on. Sit back and let AI take over your problem. Keep a monthly or weekly reminder and clear them all with a push of a button.
