WhatsApp storage use on iPhone

Hello Maudasilva,

Thanks for taking the time to post your question to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you've removed data from WhatsApp on your iPhone, but your device is not reflecting these changes and freeing up space for you.

To confirm, did you use the steps under "Use your device to check its storage" and delete documents and data for the app here: How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch or did you manually delete content from the app?

Since making these changes, have you tried restarting the iPhone? While it may seem like a simple step, it can help if you're device is not reflecting changes that you've made: Restart your iPhone

Removing and reinstalling the app can also help with these changes being reflected. We've included links below with steps to walk you through that.

Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch 

Redownload apps and games from Apple

Removing the app would delete the remaining content you have saved in the app. See how to back up here: WhatsApp Help Center - How to back up to iCloud

Let us know if this helps.

Cheers!
