WhatsApp's roadmap for 2022 includes a long list of features that will most likely reach all users sooner or later. One such feature that the messaging platform is testing is primarily for Android users. This will be an option to export chat backups from Google Drive. Here's what it's all about.
New WhatsApp feature for advanced users!
A report from WABetaInfo reveals that WhatsApp plans to add a new option for people to export chat backups from Google Drive to their devices.
The Backup section under Settings is expected to get the new "Export Backup" option, which will export all chats, photos, videos and files from Google Drive. WABetaInfo has even shared a screenshot of the same and you can check it out below.
Google cloud storage provides 15 GB of free storage and those who rely on this benefit may find this option quite useful as it helps free up some space. This information comes after an earlier rumor, which suggested that Google may start offering limited space to store WhatsApp backups by ending support for unlimited backups. However, no further update on this has been provided at this time. One thing to note is that this feature is still under development and therefore will take enough time to reach all users.
