WhatsApp is the largest messaging platform on the planet, with over 2 billion active users worldwide, a huge number, whose impact is felt globally, and not just by Facebook. WhatsApp facilitates the daily transmission of billions of messages, photos, and millions, over millions, of video clips, some users using services such as Google Photos to store part of this content in the cloud, and free up space on their own terminals.
WhatsApp unfortunately, it no longer has the pictures and video clips saved in the Google Photos platform starting with the latest update of the application, the automatic saving option being disabled by Google. The American company motivated its gesture by the fact that a lot of people started to store pictures and video clips through Google Photos, and because of the space occupied by these, which is increasing in the Coronavirus pandemic, it was decided to stop the automatic saving from WhatsApp, and not no more.
WhatsApp: ATTENTION, The New SERIOUS Problem You Didn't Know About
WhatsApp is not the only application affected by this situation, and this is because Facebook Messenger, Line, Instagram, Twitter, Viber, Snapchat, and many other applications are also affected by the situation. For all this, nothing is saved automatically in Google Photos if you don't decide to activate the option that does everything automatically, and for those with WhatsApp it can be a pretty serious problem, and many pictures or videos, could lose in the process.
WhatsApp it has nothing to do for its users in this situation, and this is because everything is related to Google and Google Photos, not to the messaging platform of the Facebook company. WhatsApp has not affected in any way the saving of backups in Google Drive by this decision for Google Photos, so you do not have to worry that there is any possibility that you will no longer have those data saved in Google's servers following the change.
WhatsApp it could at some point offer its own solution for storing pictures and video clips in the cloud, more than likely a lot of people would be interested in it, but it is not known if it will ever come.
