WhatsApp Subscription Plans: WhatsApp is used by all smartphone users. Billions of people around the world communicate with each other through WhatsApp every day. Besides, it also allows users to share photos, videos and other important data. For years, Google has allowed users to backup their WhatsApp chats on Google Drive without charging any money. But this year everything is going to change. Let us tell you about it in detail.
This change will happen in 2024
It is being told that in the first six months of the year 2024, WhatsApp chat backups will start being included in the Google Drive storage limit of users. This will affect those who were dependent on 15 GB. This means that people who have been relying on Google Drive to keep their special photos, videos and chats safe will now have to consider purchasing additional storage through Google One with WhatsApp.

Google One and Google Drive related subscription plans offers three main plans on monthly and yearly basis. Monthly costs include Basic (100GB) £1.59 / $1.99, Standard (200GB) £2.49 / $2.99 and Premium (2TB) £7.99 / $9.99. These plans were on monthly basis.
