So you’ve spent hours getting ready and you’re ready to take a snap and you get that message.

"Not enough storage."

Then you have to spend the next 10 minutes deleting all your other selfies.

Well, luckily for us all, WhatsApp has revealed that there's a new feature on its way that's going to save us all some vital storage space.

The new feature will let you know which of your chats are taking up the most and least of your precious storage space, allowing you to delete media accordingly.

Simple!

"Clicking on individual chats now gives you more detailed information," WhatsApp wrote in its release notes.

"The Size tab contains the same data in a different order since the size is sorted by the size of images and text but not by the number."

But before you get all excited…. we’re here to burst your bubble just a little bit.

It’s only available on the Windows 10 Mobile and Windows Phone 8.1 handsets, according to the Daily Star.

This isn’t the first WhatsApp update we’ve loved.

We recently LOVED that we can now read a message without the sender knowing you’ve seen it.

And then they saved us from drunk texting when they implemented an ‘unsend’ feature.

YAS.
