WhatsApp It is one of the applications that many use to communicate with all your friends, family or work contacts. However, every time we open a chat, it usually has considerable weight depending on what things you send there. Have you made any copies of it?
Usually backup copies of WhatsApp They not only save the texts, but also some photos or videos, as long as we want it that way. That’s why it sometimes tends to weigh between 2 to 3 GB.
This causes the 15 GB of free storage that Google Drive gives you to be exceeded. What to do? Well, follow these steps to avoid paying.
How to avoid paying for your WhatsApp backup
- The first thing will be to enter WhatsApp Settings on your Android cell phone.
- There we click on “Storage and data”.
- Then we will see in Manage Storage the real weight of how much our backup occupies.
- To do this, we advise you to delete conversations where you have not written for a long time.
- Once that is done, go to Chats.
- Click on “Backup” and click “Save”.
- You will see that now your backup no longer weighs 2 GB, but MB since what you are saving is only text.
- Of course, deactivate the tab that says “Include videos” so that it does not have more weight.
