LONDON: WhatsApp will provide backup/ restore options for chat history and media via Google Drive soon report.
The WhatsApp translation requests, text strings sent by the company to volunteers to translate UI and other text, indicate the company is working to integrate Google Drive for backing up text messages and media excluding videos. Text strings for options to back up to Google Drive only via Wi-Fi, or to allow use of cellular data were visible well.
The text string translation requests, tipped by a WhatsApp translation group member to Android Police, have been confirmed by Dutch website DroidApp.nl as well, which claims it also received a similar translation request.
