WhatsApp update: A brand new WhatsApp update will change the way the chat app backs up your content. The Facebook-owned app will also start deleting some of your saved messages, photos and videos from November 12, 2018. So far, the chat app has backed up users' content on popular cloud storage service Google Drive. However, with Google undertaking some changes, WhatsApp back-up won't make use of the Google Drive storage space. Backed-up messages, photos, and videos of the country will still remain on Google Drive but they won't count towards the storage limit of the user. However, there is a catch.
The chat app will also start deleting some of your old content. If you haven't updated WhatsApp back up for over a year, then the old content will completely disappear from Google Drive. WhatsApp says, "Starting November 12, 2018, WhatsApp backups will no longer count towards the Google Drive storage quota. Furthermore, WhatsApp backups that haven't been updated in more than one year will be automatically removed from Google Drive storage."
