WhatsApp will allow exporting and importing Drive backup

Quite interesting information is known about the messaging application. What’s up?. This is about automatic backup in Google Drive cloud storage service. We tell you exactly what the company owned by Meta has prepared.

WhatsApp has been offering the following for a long time: save information number of chats saved in the cloud. This means that when you switch terminals or restart the terminal you have, you don’t lose everything by reinstalling the app we’re talking about. that’s a great idea works pretty wellbut it is true that outside of this task there are no other additional possibilities… even though these are the user’s data.

This way, even if you log into Google Drive, you can access information this is a backup of the messaging app (to save it elsewhere if you want, or to search for an image or video that has been shared with you). And it seems that this will change… not radically, but it is true that it is a good step.

How is WhatsApp preparing a change?

As can be seen in the picture we left after this paragraph, permission will be granted from the application itself. export backup you have (to whatever site you decide to make sure you have everything you need on a given date). In fact, it also seems to offer a possibility. to import A backup you own, not stored on Drive. This also refers to the changes in the initial process when installing the application, because you will be able to access the data file that you think is appropriate.

With this decision, you can: to choose Restored messages because if you have a copy from 10 days ago, it may be the one chosen to restore it (and thus eliminating any later). Even greater control will be available dimension it has backups, many don’t take into account, and it’s sometimes overly large… and be careful, it’s been thought for a while that WhatsApp plans to restrict the maximum size of it. The reality is that users are given more control and this is very positive.

This function is under testing

Currently this is something that is not in the test version in general, but some users they already have the functionality to verify that the operation is sufficient. That means this innovation is not soon to arrive, so we will have to wait for the company to decide that everything is going as it should and that everyone can have more control over the backup copy WhatsApp has. Without a doubt, an excellent idea.
