We continue to talk about WhatsApp, the most famous and used instant messaging app in the world. The changes in the air are many: Google is preparing a way to send photos faster, but also the two-step verification for more security. In short, the development team is not idle. But not all that glitters is gold: WABetaInfo informs us of a change that may not please everyone: Google will limit the size of your backups of WhatsApp.
WhatsApp begins its "decline" in the Google way: with changes in the air, the size of backups will be very limited
Secondo BetaInfo, all good things must come to an end: the evidence indicates that restrizioni (still unknown) will arrive on Google Drive accounts. This makes sense given Google's active push for paid cloud storage and adding paid features to popular apps like Google Photos that encourage Google One subscriptions.
Currently, WhatsApp backups don't count towards your Google Drive storage quota or account limit. For those who save huge chats with thousands of images and multimedia videos, this is a great feature. But Google will remove this "bonus". Several lines of code in the latest beta of WhatsApp demonstrate preparations for the introduction of Google Drive backup limits with warning messages and introductory information. Each account will have 2GB of free storage available. However, this has not yet been confirmed by Google.
We will receive notifications as soon as we begin to reach the set limit. For those who don't have a Google One subscription, they are 15GB of free cloud storage available for all purposes.
