 whatsApp and google announces new Backup policy big news

Meta, the owner of WhatsApp, announced the addition of a screen-sharing capability on Tuesday. During video calls, users can now share presentations, images, and videos with one or more other participants thanks to this new feature. The purpose of WhatsApp's screen-sharing function is to counter professional video conferencing services like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. This functionality, which was first made available in beta form in June of this year, lets users share the screen of any background-running application. This feature will be released gradually in stages.

"Whether you're sharing work documents, browsing photos with family, organizing a trip or shopping online with friends, or simply helping grandparents with tech support – screen sharing works," a Meta statement reads.

Which options are open to you?

There are four major solutions for users that have a large number of shared media files and lengthy chat histories.

The first choice is to forego cloud backups entirely. To accomplish this, go to the chat backup option in the WhatsApp settings menu and set the 'Backup to Google Drive' setting to Never. This option does, however, come with a hefty price tag: the possibility of losing all chat data in the event that the current phone is misplaced or destroyed.

The second option is to manually remove chats and media that take up a lot of space in order to reduce the size of the backup. Although this is a sensible way to prevent more expenses, customers could have to make difficult choices about giving up media items they would

The final choice is to transfer all of the images and videos from WhatsApp to an external device or USB stick for storage. In addition to helping Google Photos become more space-efficient, this approach enables users to keep taking use of Google's free storage.
