Is there a way to delete all media from a specific whatsapp group,  without having to go to group media and selecting one at a time? Yes, I googled it, and have not come up with anything that works...

Interesting idea from here. Can't guarantee anything though...

  • Contact Whatsapp Group Admin that you are leaving group as you would like to erase all group medias which is taking huge space on your iPhone or Android mobile phone. So request him to Add you back immediately after you leave the group
  • Before leaving the group, send Whatsapp conversation in email. which will send you all medias in your email for backup purpose
  • Leave/Delete and Exit whatsapp group

If you don't mind deleting EVERYTHING from the group, there's an option in the chat settings to Clear Chat.

It does for me. Unless it's being stored to your camera roll or some other backup location.

Don't think there is, easiest way would be to copy the whole message and then backspace/delete what you don't want!

Meh, you can opt-out of the connection to Facebook, and they promised to always be adfree (and I don't use FB anyway). CMIIW but Telegram never said they won't be doing ads...

Is there a way to align text, without doing the guess work of adding spaces (and then flopping anyway)?
I often get such things on groups im on and curious how it works

Is anyone familiar with whatsapp bots used to connect two groups and how that works?

Did whatsapp start supporting GIF, although I tried to send one and didn't work, in the whatsapp media folder on my phone there's a GIF folder?
