Little Bit more info:
They combined old internal storage backup with google drive
integration so when you Press “Backup Now” app first take
backup into your Internal Storage and then checks that if you
already have connected your google drive account to
whatsapp account or not ,So if you already have given
permission then it will start taking backup.
Once you connect google drive account with whatsapp
account and then when
you only want to backup for internal storage but don’t want
to backup on google drive, you have to force stop the
app after internal storage backup completes. After the google
drive backup completes ,if you will go into Google Drive app
and will try to find folders for where your backup have been
saved , you won’t find anything because the data was saved
internally so that only WhatsApp app can access it and user
won’t have access to it.
What will be backed up in cloud?
- Conversations
- Photos
Videos
Some info on RESTORATION:
In case if you change/lose your phone or just flashed another
custom ROM with clean internal storage wipe or you just lost
your chat cause your friend was messing up with your phone,
You no longer need to worry about your chat backup if you
have backed up your chat in cloud. When you will do fresh
installation of WhatsApp, app will search for local backup 1st
and then it will check for GDrive backup . Then it will sync
pics with google drive and download missing pics and
conversations data to restore it. So you don’t need to worry
about your important chat anymore . Just remember to keep
your phone ON for 4:00 am and it will automatically backup
chat locally in your phone and into your google drive
account.
You can also select the automatic Google Drive Backup
schedule interval.
