WhatsApp automatically saves the images and other media that you sent to your contacts. These files will not appear in the gallery or any albums, as the folder is hidden with a tricky”.nomedia” file.
You can still free up a lot of space if you were sending many images over WhatsApp images and never bothered that they are being saved separately. These files are the exact copy of the original image that we chose to send from the native storage. So, deleting them will not affect the images on your smartphone, unless you want to see the preview from the chat screen. Follow the steps to delete the Sent images on the Android smartphone.
