WhatsApp is the messaging platform with the more active users worldwide, thanks to the features it offers for iPhone and Android at the moment. WhatsApp has had a built-in feature for some time that allows phone users to back up their conversations, that is, to save a copy of them to Google Drive, or iCloud, because when they change, lose, or steal their phone,
WhatsApp offers the ability to upload backups to iCloud and Google Drive depending on the limits of the subscriptions for these services, and now it seems that in the case of the Google service there will be a limit. It was discovered in the source code of the WhatsApp application for Android that in the future Google Drive will limit the size of the backups we can upload, depending on the space we have available in our account at that time.
WhatsApp has implemented in its beta versions alerts for those who have decided to save backups in Google Drive, so they will be notified when they no longer have space to save data. WhatsApp has also implemented a special feature that allows us to choose which data in our terminals is included in the backups or not, so we can remove certain information so as not to have too large backups.
WhatsApp offers this option to save backups to Google Drive because all other messaging applications also have identical functionality implemented by users. At this time, any backup uploaded from WhatsApp to Google Drive will not reduce the space available to us on the Google platform, but that will change in the future, although it is unknown at this time what will happen next.
WhatsApp is working on so many important changes for users around the world that it remains to be seen how many of them will be publicly offered to us, and how many will not.
