WABetaInfo reports that with the Android 2.23.24.21 update, the company plans to stop offering unlimited storage quota for WhatsApp backups in the near future. This means that soon backing up WhatsApp on Android will work the same as on iOS and users will be able to back up using only 15GB of free storage. If your 15GB free storage gets full then you may have to buy extra storage for it.
Receiving in-app alerts
According to the recent official announcement from Google, the unlimited storage option for WhatsApp backup will be discontinued soon and WhatsApp has started sending in-app alerts to inform users in advance. A similar announcement has also been posted in the official WhatsApp Help Center, explaining this change in detail.
These people will be affected
However, users who want to back up their WhatsApp chat backups at no additional cost will now need to free up 15GB of free storage first. If your cloud storage is free then you do not need to worry about it. The impact of this change will be more visible on those who rely more on multimedia messaging, due to which the size of the backup file increases significantly.
