The feature is now rolling out for iOS after Android beta testing.

Users can manage storage directly from the chat info screen.

Large media files can be viewed, sorted, and deleted easily.

This saves time and avoids navigating multiple settings.

Files are auto-organized by size for quick review.

Sorting options include Newest, Oldest, and Largest.

The shortcut works like the “Manage Storage” option in settings.
