How to Delete WhatsApp Chats Partially Like Only Photos, Videos or Other Data

By John Bennet
We cannot keep everything in WhatsApp for so long, sometimes due to less importance of the chat and most of the time to save memory space.

If you wonder what is the big deal in deleting chat data of contact from WhatsApp, thinking just by holding the chat item and tap on delete itself would do so (or) by going to Contacts chat - >click on Top Right Corner -> Tap More option ->Clear Chat would also delete the entire chat conversation. But in either way, the chat item will be deleted one by one or as a whole.
