How to save your WhatsApp messages so that they are not deleted on November 12
Today is an important day for WhatsApp users. Starting today, Monday, November 12, the service will delete messages, videos or photos from those Android terminals that are on its platform. The objective is clear: to do a complete cleaning. In this way, if you are an Android user you will see how all the information available in the backup copies that the application makes in the cloud disappears. This only affects Google system users, not iOS users.WhatsApp has an agreement with Apple so that its customers can store their data in iCloud.
If you haven't made a backup in the last 12 months, WhatsApp will delete all your old messages. Therefore, it is advisable to make a backup copy in Google Drive as soon as possible. Don't worry about space, because Google and WhatsApp reached an agreement last August so that Android users can transfer their data to Drive without adding additional megabytes. So, for example, if you have 15 GB of storage in Google Drive and your WhatsApp backup takes up 3 GB, instead of being left with 12 GB of space, Drive will still show you the entire 15 GB.
To make a backup copy of the WhatsApp data on your Android phone and transfer it to Google Drive, the first thing you have to do is open the service and locate the Menu, Settings, and Chat sections.Once inside, select the Google Drive option and the frequency with which you want those copies to be saved (you can choose between a daily, weekly or monthly copy). In this case, start a new backup at that time. In addition to this, it is necessary to specify the Google account in which you want to store the backups . Keep in mind that the process may take a few minutes, so you will need some patience.
Since transferring files to Google Drive can consume a lot of mobile data, it is recommended that you always back up using a Wi-Fi connection.If possible, do it with your own, at home. Avoid doing it on open public WiFi for greater security.
