1. Delete large files
Before you backup your data, ensure that you have deleted large files from your chats. These files may include photographs, videos and even documents.
You can review and delete these files easily by simply going to your WhatsApp settings and clicking on 'Storage and Data'. After which, you can click on 'Manage Storage where you will be able to find all files larger than 5MB.
2. Remove forwarded content
Several users have photographs and videos that may have been forwarded to them.
You can find files that have been forwarded multiple times by going to 'Manage Storage' (see above) and clicking on 'Forwarded Many Times'.
3. Disappearing messages
In order to avoid chats taking more space, you can turn on disappearing messages.
By switching this on in individual chats, they will automatically get deleted after a certain period of time.
4. Delete chats entirely
Aside from the other three things above, you can also find old chats (especially, group chats) and delete them entirely.
You can also go to your archived chats and delete those in order to free up some space.
