What happens to your messages after WhatsApp stops saving backups if you don't pay in Google Drive

 For months, WhatsApp backups can be saved in the Google Drive space that Android mobile phone users have at their disposal. This is a way to never lose data or photos that are sent and received, but the situation will change soon.

Although it is true that this copy can be saved on Google servers for a long time, when the free space exceeds only 15 GB that Google offers you, you will have to pay monthly to continue saving WhatsApp backups.

Now, as found in the WhatsApp code, the app's storage in Google Drive could change, something that would affect Android mobile users, and iOS devices would remain the same with iCloud.


This news arrived via WABetaInfo and adds to another they discovered months ago, when they saw that they were working on the possibility of excluding some files from their backups, such as the heaviest videos.


Keep in mind that any warehousing means a solid investment for the company. The number of users using WhatsApp all over the world is countless and there are many who want not to lose their messages, photos and videos. But how will they do that? They will have to pay.


In addition, in the past, WhatsApp has also stopped using unlimited backups of Google Photos, so another step that would separate the two companies would not be unexpected, and in any case, it will be up to WhatsApp to find a solution to this problem.


At the moment, a message has been detected that everything can be changed only in the application code, but it is not known what it is formulating at the moment. Will I have to pay to keep the backup as before? This question we will know the answer to later this year, and if this new decision is implemented, what will happen to your WhatsApp backups on WhatsApp is losing them after consuming 15 GB space, which will be free for everyone.
