When the WhatsApp limit is reached, Google Drive will start filling in and send notifications when the changes will take effect.
Highlights
- Google may not provide unlimited storage space for WhatsApp backups.
- There is currently no cap on the amount of media stored on WhatsApp from WhatsApp.
- Because WhatsApp backup is part of their iCloud storage, iPhone users do not have unlimited access to storage.
Google may not provide unlimited storage space for WhatsApp backups. Although there is currently no cap on the amount of media stored on your WhatsApp Google Drive, things may not be as good as they used to be. Google will soon launch WhatsApp users on Android. The messaging app is expected to notify users of when the storage limit is reached.
According to Wabetainfo, WhatsApp may soon announce restrictions on Google Drive storage. You may have noticed some useful strings that explain how things will change in future updates to WhatsApp features. Google will start sending notifications when Google Drive is nearing completion, when the limit is reached and when the changes will take effect. Not surprisingly, Google stopped providing unlimited photos to Google Photos last year.
Google is expected to offer a limited quota for free storage of WhatsApp backups, but it will be a limited plan, and information about the new storage plan is unknown. Neither Google nor WhatsApp have made the same public statement, so the news should be taken lightly. The information is based solely on the strings attached to the WhatsApp suggestion. So, as long as WhatsApp does not make public announcements, it would be better for users to take the information as salt.
Because WhatsApp backup is part of their iCloud storage, iPhone users do not have unlimited access to storage. So far only Android users have access to unlimited Google storage because WhatsApp does not use Google Drive storage restrictions for users. WhatsApp users can expand their storage by purchasing Google One plans starting at Rs. 130 per month in India.
In a related note, WhatsApp will soon launch an independent app for the iPad. Users have been screaming for the iPad app for a long time. Most of the way WhatsApp works on the iPad app is also seen by typewriters but nothing comes out of their cracks and rumors. WhatsApp may have stopped the process before, but now it seems more determined than ever to open an app for the iPad.
