Technology Nov 10, 2025

WhatsApp is rolling out a new Media Hub to make finding your shared photos, videos, docs, and links way easier.
Right now, it's available for some users on WhatsApp Web and Mac—so if you spot it, you're among the first to try it.

You get a sidebar button for instant access to media

You get a sidebar button for instant access to all your recent media.
There's a search bar with filters (like sender or caption), multi-select so you can manage several files at once, and even size sorting to help clear out big files.
It's still in limited rollout as Meta checks feedback before going wider—so organized chats might be just around the corner for everyone.
