Google may soon limit the size of WhatsApp chat backups hosted on Drive.
Google may soon place a limit on the size of WhatsApp backups housed in cloud storage service Drive, reports have suggested. Currently, WhatsApp backups do not count towards a user’s Google Drive capacity limit. However, a snippet of code from the latest WhatsApp beta accessed by WABetaInfo suggests this may not be the case for much longer. The screenshot appears to show that Google Drive will begin to serve up alerts when a user is nearing their WhatsApp backup size limit, but does not indicate what this limit might be. TechRadar Pro has asked Google for confirmation of both the policy change and the capacity limit.
