WhatsApp testing export backup feature

A report by WABetaInfo reveals that WhatsApp is planning to add a new option to export chat backups from Google Drive to their devices.

The Backup section under Settings is expected to get a new 'Export Backup' option, which will export all chats, photos, videos and files from Google Drive. WABetaInfo even shared a screenshot of it and you can check it out below.


Google's Cloud Space offers 15GB of free storage and those who rely on this facility may find this option quite useful as it will help free up some space. This information comes after an earlier rumor, which suggested that Google may end unlimited support for backups and offer limited space to store WhatsApp backups. However, no further update has been given in this regard till now. One thing to note is that this feature is still under development and hence, it will take considerable time to reach all users.

Apart from this, WhatsApp has introduced unread chat filter for beta version of Android. This will help people easily find unread chats, which tend to get lost as new chats appear It is primarily being tested for WhatsApp for desktop beta. It is likely to reach WhatsApp for iOS as well. The new filter joins existing filters such as photo, video, audio and more. Here is a look at it.


You should know that above mentioned features are part of testing and we really don't know when they will be available as official features. We look forward to getting more details on this and will be sure to update you.
