Google 表示,上述提及的「對話備份」異動新政策,預計在今年12月率先向Android 版WhatsApp 測試計畫用戶推行,並在明年2024年起正式陸續向用戶全面實施。
因應備份空間將採用與 Google 帳號免費共享15GB 雲端儲存容量合併計算,之後,若安卓用戶的 WhatsApp 備份內容檔案過大,若不想付費升級容量,則可把自動對話備份功能給移除。安卓用戶需手動從WhatsApp 的設定選單操作,路徑為:設定>「對話」>「對話備份」,並把「備份到Google 雲端硬碟」改為「不要備份」。
WhatsApp 指出,新政策明年起正式陸續實施,會於生效前30天向用戶發出通知提醒。作者: Laputa 時間: 18-11-2023 10:27 標題: Upcoming changes to WhatsApp chat history backup on Android
Hey all,
As an important heads up, WhatsApp backups on Android will soon start counting toward your Google Account cloud storage limit, similar to how WhatsApp backups are handled on other mobile platforms. This change will first start rolling out to WhatsApp Beta users starting in December 2023, then gradually to all WhatsApp users on Android starting early next year.
If you choose to enable WhatsApp backups on Android, personal Google Accounts come with 15GB of storage at no charge – 3X more than most mobile platforms – that’s shared across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos.
WhatsApp backups on Android will continue to work, as long as you have available space within your Google Account storage. If you hit your storage limit, you’ll need to free up space to resume backups by removing items you do not need.
If you have a personal Google Account, our storage management tools can help you do things like removing large files or photos. You can also delete items directly from WhatsApp. Deleting items from WhatsApp deletes them from your cloud storage, reducing storage used by your next WhatsApp backup. You also have the option to get more storage with Google One. Learn more about what storage is right for your account here. To help you with the transition, we will soon provide eligible users limited, one-time Google One promotions.
If you have a Google Workspace subscription through work or school, your storage quota is not impacted at this time.
Going forward, WhatsApp backup experience on Android will be in line with how it works on other platforms, with the added benefit of Google's 15 GB of storage available at no charge. We’ll continue to work with WhatsApp to provide you with reliable and secure backup support. Please stay tuned for more updates.
