WhatsApp may soon let you export chat backups to Google Drive

WhatsApp lets its users back up their chats to Google Drive, and you also have the option to secure it behind encryption. And soon, the messaging app may have an option to export chats you’ve saved to the cloud.

With the option, people using WhatsApp can access all their chats and media files like videos and audios from their cloud account which is linked to the WhatsApp account. according to the tip WAbetainfoWhatsApp may offer this feature in the settings of the app within the chat backup section.

Google Drive offers 15GB of storage for free, which includes the space your Google Account uses for Gmail, Photos, and more. Therefore, giving users the option to export files from their Drive account to free up space makes a lot of sense. The option to export chats from Google Drive suggests that WhatsApp is focused on Android smartphone users with this feature.

WhatsApp has thought about limiting the use of Drive storage for its content and eventually asking people to pay for extra space on their cloud accounts. But this new development about exporting chats suggests the meta-owned messaging platform is having a change of heart, and would prefer that users have the option of deleting data from Drive that is no longer useful to them.

WhatsApp is exploring different ways to make this platform useful for the users. The option to back up data to the cloud has helped millions of people restore their chats and files when they move to a new device. Its multi-device feature has allowed people to use WhatsApp on the web without the need for a mirrored phone all the time. It has also started testing an unread chat filter, so you can list those chats at the top of the main WhatsApp screen.

All of these features are still in beta, so it’s likely that most people will have to wait for a public release to try out these tools.
