WhatsApp Storage Update 2024: Free Storage Feature To End Soon; Details Here

WhatsApp will also have a storage review option which will tell users how much of the storage their WhatsApp data is already using. The users need to know that they can continue backing up their data without extra charges, as long as they have available storage within the 15GB of free cloud storage included with their Google Account or any additional purchased storage, such as through Google One.

WhatsApp also informs its users in the note that they will have to start managing their WhatsApp data storage or must get ready to pay extra for Google Drive to keep all their data in place. Google Drive plans start from 100GB and if users are big on photos and videos, it might be a good idea to invest in Drive storage.

In addition to this, WhatsApp doesn’t limit its user’s options and suggests that in case they don’t want to back up their chats to a Google account, users can transfer the chats between Android devices using the WhatsApp Chat Transfer tool.
