PSA: WhatsApp Backups on Android to Count Against Google Drive Storage | PCMag

WhatsApp users on Android have enjoyed unlimited chat history backups on Google Drive since 2018. Now, the gravy train has pulled out of the station as backups will again count against a user's Google Drive storage. The change is rolling out to beta users first in December, and "then gradually to all WhatsApp users on Android starting early next year," Google says.WhatsApp will send a notification to users 30 days before the change happens via an alert in the Settings > Chats > Chat Backup menu. If you don't have enough storage on your Google account, and don't want to pay for it, WhatsApp's only suggestion for now is to transfer your chats to another Android device using WhatsApp Chat Transfer."If you hit your storage limit, you’ll need to free up space to resume backups by removing items you do not need," Google says.Google offers 15GB of free storage per account across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. Google One storage plans start at $1.99 per month for 100GB and go up from there. "To help you with the transition, we will soon provide eligible users limited, one-time Google One promotions," Google says, though it didn't elaborate. (It's currently offering discounts

'No-one has left the Whatsapp group' – Dublin veterans all set to return in 2024

Brian Fenton expects all of Dublin’s elder statesmen to return for the 2024 season and has revealed that clubmate Brian Howard should be fit for the start of the league campaign.There had been speculation that senior men such as James McCarthy, Stephen Cluxton or Mick Fitzsimons could call time on their careers after winning a record-breaking ninth All-Ireland medal earlier this year.But with Dublin set to embark on their team holiday next week before preparations for the new season begin in earnest, the Raheny midfielder expects the group will stay together.“You’re kind of scared to ask, you’re scared to ask whoever you’re thinking of, the likes of Clucko (Cluxton). It’s not something that I’d be in a position to ask, I’d never be looking to Clucko saying, ‘Here, are you coming back?’ You wait, it’s a waiting game.“I know that Dessie (Farrell) is having those chats but you’re kind of just waiting to see who shows up and if they don’t then they don’t, and you just keep ploughing on,” Fenton said as Staycity were named as Dublin’s new sponsor.Read more“As of now, genuinely, I haven’t heard of anyone that’s stepping away, thankfully.

DocuSign wants to make it easier for you to sign off on deals from WhatsApp

The WhatsApp Delivery feature lets you e-sign documents from ongoing chats Summary DocuSign and WhatsApp have partnered to allow customers to digitally sign documents within the WhatsApp messaging app, providing a convenient and secure e-signature solution. WhatsApp has been enhancing its functionality recently, including the introduction of voice chat rooms within group conversations and text formatting options for messages. With ongoing improvements and integrations like DocuSign, WhatsApp has become a robust and multifunctional instant messaging app, offering more than just end-to-end encryption. If you regularly e-sign documents, you’re likely familiar with DocuSign. The service lets you digitally sign documents on desktop and mobile, and it can alert you when other parties have signed them as well. However, security is critical when it comes to e-signing confidential documents. With that in mind, DocuSign is now partnering with Meta’s WhatsApp to make it quicker and easier to sign off on documents directly from ongoing conversations. DocuSign and WhatsApp announced their deal on November 14, which will allow eSignature customers in the Standard tier and above to digitally sign documents via the messaging app. It’s worth noting that Meta’s WhatsApp features end-to-end encryption, which can give you some peace of mind if you’re

No more free lunch for WhatsApp Android users as backups will be deducted from storage limit

If you are an Android user, every night (or week or month, depending on your choice), without fail, WhatsApp backups your chats and media to Google Drive. It's a hassle-free process, made more convenient by the fact that the backups don't count towards your free Google Drive storage space, which is 15GB for everyone. Those days are about to be over.Google and WhatsApp have announced that WhatsApp backups will soon start impacting your free cloud storage quota. This means you cannot continue to be as mindless as you have been about backups because if you run out of storage, the backups will stop. To continue storing your chats and media on the cloud, you'll have to delete some stuff from your Google Drive. You may also consider deleting items from WhatsApp so they take up as little space as possible.To avoid sounding like a spoil-sport, Google points out that this is how backups have always been handled on other platforms (Apple's iOS) which offer three times less free storage space (5GB) than Google. Keep in mind that 15GB of free storage is shared across Google Drive, Google Photos, and Gmail.WhatsApp Beta users will be the first to experience this change

WhatsApp beta adds a secret code feature to hide and access locked chats – Gizmochina

WhatsApp is continually enhancing its user experience through beta testing, where select users help identify and fix bugs, refine features, and assess functionality. Beta testers get early access to innovations, acknowledging potential glitches. This process ensures stable updates before a global release. Recently, WhatsApp has released a new beta update (version 2.23.24.20), introducing a secret code feature for locked chats, available to some beta testers. This secret code feature allows users to hide the entry point to view locked chats, enhancing privacy. How does this secret code feature work? With this feature, users configure a secret code, and the entry point disappears from the chat list. Instead, users access locked chats by entering the secret code in the Chats tab’s search bar. Additionally, WhatsApp is adding a feature that allows users to easily clear their list of locked chats directly from the privacy settings. This feature comes in handy if a user forgets their secret code, as it prevents them from getting locked out of their conversations. This enhanced privacy ensures that locked conversations remain hidden, protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access or accidental exposure. Even if someone gains physical access to a user’s phone, they won’t access these secured

Yousaf and Robison should refer themselves for WhatsApp probe, Tories say | Enfield Independent

First Minister Humza Yousaf and his deputy should refer themselves to the independent adviser for the ministerial code over suggestions they misled parliament, the Scottish Tories have said. Mr Yousaf and Shona Robison have been under fire in the past week after the Scottish Government published a timeline of its dealings with the UK Covid-19 Inquiry and when it was asked to divulge WhatsApp messages. The timeline showed requests for messages had been made by the inquiry in February as opposed to September, as previously stated. Last week, the Scottish Government handed over 14,000 messages to the inquiry, including unredacted correspondence from the First Minister. Douglas Ross will lead a debate this week urging the ministers to refer themselves (Jane Barlow/PA)The timeline was laid out after the inquiry “asked us to set out in more detail the full timetable of requests for information of the Scottish Government”, Ms Robison said. Both Mr Yousaf and Ms Robison have been accused by opposition leaders of misleading parliament. If they are found to have intentionally done so, they will be “expected to offer their resignation”, according to the ministerial code.
