Ever worry about what might happen to all your WhatsApp photos, videos,
and chats if your phone suddenly died? Now you don't have to — if you
use Android, at least.
That's because WhatsApp for Android now plays nice with Google Drive, letting you create a private online backup of all your data from the Facebook-owned chat service. The app will let you back up your entire WhatsApp chat history, including voice messages, photos, and videos, to Google Drive, giving you peace of mind that your data is safe if your phone goes kaput.
"Whether it's recounting a story, watching a video, or enjoying photos with family and friends, our memories help us reconnect with what's really important," Google Drive director of product management Scott Johnston wrote in a blog post. "And every month, nearly a billion people use WhatsApp to do just that. Of course: you don't want your memories stuck on your phone. (What if something happens?!)."
