108GB of WhatsApp data? Do you really need to keep that much of a social media application? I'd be more inclined to get rid of the majority of your WhatsApp data as opposed to iCloud Drive.

yes, the very argument I had with my grand daughter when she declared she "needed a bigger phone".

I can't even fathom why keeping 108GB of WhatsApp data is worthwhile or important. I think the priority is a bit skewed.

it's the concept that if you don't have a video of it, it never happened,

Unless you turn it off, the whatsapp images are duplicated in Photos Whatsapp album so you have two deletes to process.

Whatever their reasoning, WhatsApp is a bigger issue than iCloud Drive. I wouldn't want to touch iCloud Drive. I would slash WhatsApp.

That’s all of the files in iCloud Drive. What can help is turn off iCloud Drive and turn it back on again, but you can lose data with that so be sure to make a backup beforehand
