ISLAMABAD: WhatsApp is developing a new feature for its web version that will allow users to access all shared media and files from all chats in one place. The feature, known as the Chat Media Hub, is currently under development and is expected to be released in a future update.

The Chat Media Hub will provide a centralized interface for browsing all images, videos, GIFs, documents, and links shared across every chat. This includes individual, group, and community conversations. Users will no longer need to open each chat separately to find specific content.

The feature will appear as a new section in the sidebar of the web client, offering quick access to the entire media history across all conversations. Within the hub, users can scroll through shared content and view additional details such as the sender’s name and the date the file was shared.

Search and File Management Tools

WhatsApp will include a caption-based search function to help users locate specific items more easily. Users will also be able to sort content by the most recent, oldest first, or largest file size. A multi-select option will support batch actions such as downloading, forwarding, or deleting multiple items at once.

These capabilities are designed to assist with both content search and storage management, enabling users to identify and remove large or unwanted files more efficiently.

Earlier updates indicated that WhatsApp was developing a similar feature for community group chats in its Android beta version. However, the web-based Chat Media Hub will expand this functionality to cover all chats, offering a more comprehensive solution for media access and organization.

Availability

The feature is still under development and has not yet been released for public or beta testing. WhatsApp has not provided a specific timeline for its rollout but has confirmed that it will be included in a future update of the web client.
