How to remove unnecessary numbers in WhatsApp - in detail?

To remove unnecessary numbers from your WhatsApp contact list, you can follow these detailed steps:

1. Identify Unnecessary Contacts: First, make a mental note or create a list of the contacts you no longer need in your WhatsApp. This could include old acquaintances, irrelevant groups, or spam numbers.

2. Block and Delete Contacts:

   • Open WhatsApp on your device.
   • Navigate to the contact or group you want to remove.
   • Tap on the three dots (⋮) in the top right corner of the screen.
   • Select "More" and then tap on "Block". This will prevent them from sending you messages in the future.
   • After blocking, go back to your contact list or groups section.
   • Long-press on the contact or group name until a checkmark appears next to it.
   • Tap on the trash can icon (?) at the top of the screen to delete the selected contacts or groups.

3. Delete Media from Unwanted Contacts: Before you block and delete unwanted contacts, consider deleting any media they have sent you. This will help free up storage space on your device:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the contact's chat window.
   • Tap on the three dots (⋮) in the top right corner and select "Media visibility".
   • Choose "No" if you want to hide the media from the contact. This will not delete it, but it will make it less visible.
   • To actually delete media:
     • Go back to the chat window.
     • Long-press on any media (photo, video, etc.) until a checkmark appears next to it.
     • Tap on the trash can icon (?) at the top of the screen to delete the selected media.

4. Clear WhatsApp Cache: After removing unnecessary contacts and deleting unwanted media, you might want to clear the WhatsApp cache to free up even more space:

   • Go to your device's Settings app.
   • Navigate to "Apps" or "Application Manager".
   • Find WhatsApp in the list of installed apps.
   • Tap on it and select "Storage & cache".
   • Tap on "Clear Cache" to remove temporary files created by WhatsApp. Be aware that this will not delete your messages or media, but it can help improve performance and free up space.

By following these steps, you can effectively remove unnecessary numbers from your WhatsApp and keep your contact list clean and organized.
