According to reports by Android Police and Gadgets Now, Google has released an update for the Files application that will introduce a new feature called “Search Chip Filters”. These Search Chip Filters will scan through the smartphone of the user and provide them with results containing the unwanted files that they can delete to free up storage space on their smartphones.
