How WhatsApp will save the user's messages in Google Drive
In WhatsApp they continue working to improve the operation of the application and, above all, to add new features that keep this messaging tool on the cutting edge, even more so now that there are so many alternatives. Proof of this is the battery of novelties that have recently been presented on iPhone and that have been cooking on Android for some time Not without controversy. And, among them, is the intermittent function of saving backup copies of messages in the cloud of Google That is, saving chats to Google Drive Something that seems to be back available for users of the beta version
This is a long-awaited feature on the platform Android And it is that the users of these mobiles usually find themselves facing the problem oflose messages, photos and videos when the mobile is lost or stolen And, unless a manual copy is made, these contents are saved in the terminal , getting lost with it if it gets lost. As a solution, WhatsApp has decided to join forces with Google to save these copies in thecloud In this way, in case of loss or theft, the user can download their old messages in your new terminal, without losing all the contentSomething that iPhone users have been able to enjoy for a long time thanks to the cloud (Internet storage service) iCloud
The problem is that WhatsApp is still testing this feature, but intermittently. It does so through its beta or test version for Android, but limiting it to some users. And it is that the company has launched a new beta version, number 2.12.233, which seems to be giving way to each time more people to this long-awaited function, although removing it later Something that does not ensure its availability to all users, but that increasingly they are beginning to enjoy Or maybe it's that WhatsApp has opened the season as it happened on Friday before theFree calls were available to everyone
In theory, it would be enough to install this version, always under the responsibility of each user (and it may not work completely well being a trial version and installed outside of Google Play). With this, in the menu Settings, within the section Chats and Calls, it is possible to find the option Save Chats On this occasion, instead of making a regular copy in the terminal, a small tutorial appears to choose the frequency of the creation of these copies of the chats: every day, weekly, monthly or never After that, the usual screen appears, where you can make the copy manually, and indicating the Google account to which this new service is associated.
Apart from this, the backup in Google Drive allows you to establish the process through networks WiFi or using data in the same menu.A very useful option to ahdelete rate data and speed up the process if you choose only WiFi By the way, this new way of saving user messages is automatically scheduled for 03:00 in the morning, and not for 04:00 :00, as usual. Issues that still have to be fine-tuned for Google to decide to launch it for all users through Google Play.
