Soon You Might Be Able To Manage WhatsApp Chat Backups On Cloud

WhatsApp chat backups on Cloud

Facebook owned WhatsApp is working on a feature that will allow users to manage WhatsApp chat backups on Cloud (iCould or Google Drive).

According to the WABetaInfo report, the feature which is currently in the testing stage will initially be available to Android users only, which will allow them to select the content on their cloud. After offering end-to-end encrypted backups, the newly released version (WhatsApp for Android beta 2.21.21.7) will soon allow its users to manage the backup size. Termed as ‘Manage backup size’, the feature will allow WA users to manage the cloud backup by excluding specific media (like photos and videos) from being included in the next backup. While no specific release date has been announced yet, the WA team is expected to roll out the feature soon.

Why Facebook wants users to Manage WhatsApp Chat Backups on Cloud?

While the WhatsApp backups didn’t count on your Google Drive, the report also suggested that Google may soon stop offering unlimited storage for WhatsApp backups. While no party has yet made any official announcement, Google may limit the storage space to 2000 MB per user, but even WABetaInfo has termed this to be a rumour yet.

Earlier this month, WhatsApp had rolled out a new end-to-end encrypted chat backup feature for iOS and Android users to raise the level of security currently offered on message backups. 

Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg said – “WhatsApp is the first global messaging service at this scale to offer end-to-end encrypted messaging and backups.”
