It seems that something that was already rumored is confirmed, Google Drive will no longer offer unlimited space for WhatsApp backups , therefore, there will be a time when the user will be forced to pay a storage plan if he wants to save his copy .
WhatsApp allows us to connect our Google account to WhatsApp so that the messaging application makes its backup copies of the conversations and files generated there, however, until now there has been no size limit and they have always been free.
As WABetaInfo has discovered, it will be Google Drive (now Google One) that will begin to limit the space available for WhatsApp backups, so that there will be a limited space allocated for copies of the app and that at some point it will be filled.
And it is that a few lines of code have been discovered in the internal code of WhatsApp that talks about changes in WhatsApp backups in Google Drive, so the truth is that the possibility seems to be getting closer to being officially launched.
A small free storage quota will be allocated for WhatsApp backups on Google Drive. At the moment there is not much more data about it, therefore, the exact size of that portion of limited space that will be allocated to such an event is unknown.
At the time there was talk of only 2 GB for WhatsApp, but at the moment it is not a data that can be confirmed. The fact that Google Drive stops offering unlimited storage for WhatsApp backups is further reinforced by this information that we know.
But it is that at the time we knew that WhatsApp was preparing a tool that allowed you to manage the size of the WhatsApp backup in Google Drive , so that you could choose which files you wanted to be part of the copy.
It is not good news that the unlimited space for WhatsApp backups in Google Drive is going to be said goodbye, since it would force the user to hire a Google cloud service plan if the size of their copy is too high and You don’t have free space, but you want to keep your backups on Drive.
