The union between Google Drive and WhatsApp offers users a very useful tool to not worry about the data stored in chats, because if we so require, we have the option of saving a backup of all our application information, either from automatically or when we choose. And best of all, we had unlimited storage to store our backup. So far it seems to be. And it is that soon we will have an established limit to save our WhatsApp data in Google Drive.
The information is given through WABetaInfo, where through the analysis of the lines of code of the application, it has been discovered that Google Drive would stop offering an unlimited plan for WhatsApp backup.
The end of unlimited storage is coming
The fact that we enjoyed unlimited storage for WhatsApp was due to a collaboration between the two firms, something that seems to have come to an end. And it is that as it happened with Google Photos, the company seems to be gradually encouraging its users to checkout for its storage plans.
There are no details yet on how much space they will offer us for WhatsApp backup, although it is speculated that they could be a total of 2 GB. Although it is not a large size, it is something that should serve the vast majority of users who use this messaging application.
According to comments from WABetaInfo, it is unknown when this limited plan will arrive on the platform, since it is still under development. From WhatsApp they would be planning to notify users through notifications and additional information when the time comes.
If you think that this change can negatively affect you, as you know, Google has been offering its Google One plans for some time to expand storage in accounts. Count on plans up to 2 TB and it is possible to share the plan with up to five people.
