accounts. “If you hit your storage limit, you’ll need to free up space to resume backups by removing items you do not need,” the post said.

These changes to WhatsApp backup on Android devices will start rolling out to WhatsApp Beta users in December, with a gradual rollout to all Android users in early 2024. It’s worth noting, that other platforms like Apple’s iOS already count WhatsApp chat and media backups toward cloud storage. iOS users get 5GB free iCloud storage, with paid tiers of additional storage starting at Rs. 75 a month in India.

Earlier this year, Meta announced that WhatsApp users on both Android and iOS will be able to transfer their chat history, along with media attachments, from an old phone to new phone without the use of any backup or cloud services. The chat transfer feature works via a QR code and lets users transfer chat history and media to a new phone with the same OS.
