Before updating the new Wattab .. Quick to save your photos and videos!

A new update to WattsApp, scheduled for Nov. 12, may delete old chat, pictures and video files on Android devices, the Chip website said. Store the backup files before that date for not losing them.

Backups for the Talks app will not be counted in future from the limited storage space available on Google Drive. To date, the backup of the chat application, which is used by nearly 1.5 billion people around the world, takes up 15% of Google Drive's free storage space for a free Google account. But the frequent use of WattsUp increases the size of these backups very quickly to many gigabytes, especially if the user is active in the exchange of images and videos.

The ability to backup backups of WattsApp to the storage space on Google Drive comes as a result of a joint collaboration between WattsApp and Google Inc. The update is due to take effect on November 12. Which will allow additional storage space for mobile user files.

But it's not that easy. The German software and application site Chip said that Android users must check their backup files before November 12, otherwise they may lose data. The site reveals that backups that did not occur more than a year will be deleted from Google servers automatically.

In order to avoid losing it, experts at the German site recommend that the backup be done manually and uploaded to the Google Drive account before the mentioned date, so that the existing backup files are updated and protected from the scheduled automatic deletion. This will allow users to preserve their old conversation files, photos, and videos.

The method of manual preservation is simple: To download a copy of the backup files from WattsApp to the Google Drive service you must first open WattsApp settings. Go to the chat item, then select a chat backup item. Here, you can also determine whether you need to back up your video files too. Through the backup item Backup you can create backup files and upload them to the Google Drive service.
