WhatsApp backups on Android will count toward Google cloud storage limit in 2024 (support.google.com)

The pixels really disappoint here:

- Originally, you had unlimited storage for life (leading to a brisk trade in Pixel 1s even today, putting new pics on them for permanent back up).

- Then unlimited storage at somewhat reduced quality

- After pixel 5, that's out the window and they try to upcharge you for google 1 space

And now this...


This is Google trying yet again to get people to pay for storage.
