Free Way to Clear WhatsApp Caches on iPhone

If you’re a frequent WhatsApp user and you are running out of space on your iPhone or iPad, you may probably have noticed that WhatsApp data and cache can take up a considerable amount of storage space on an iPhone, iPad. WhatsApp is popular and anyone I know who uses it, usually has at least 10 to 15 group chats they are part of. With all those chats, they have tons of shared videos and pictures, which add up to a lot of space. Even if you disable the option of saving media to your camera roll, WhatsApp still can take up several GBs easily.
