Google recently announced the end of unlimited storage for WhatsApp backups on Android, aligning it with other platforms.
Initially introduced in 2015, Google Drive backups eased data preservation, encompassing chats, images, and videos.
Both companies confirmed the impending conclusion of unlimited Google Drive backups for WhatsApp, now counting towards the 15GB free storage limit in Google accounts.
This adjustment, as stated by Google, mirrors the handling of WhatsApp backups across different mobile platforms.
So, what's the impact on users?
Essentially, managing Google Drive storage becomes crucial to avoid running out of space.
Once storage exhausts, not only WhatsApp backups cease but also email reception on the account.
This change will roll out for beta users starting December 2023, allowing a brief window for storage organization. Regular users can expect the shift to occur early next year.
Google assures that WhatsApp backups on Android will persist, contingent upon available space in the Google Account storage.
Users hitting their storage cap must free up space by removing unnecessary items to resume backups, according to Google.
