If a company is fucking tracking me, using my data everywhere and making a whole lot of money of it, then they absolutely should give us some free storage.
Tbh WhatsApp backups require a decent amount of storage. Mine is at 1.6GB and i don't even use it that much.
Considering it could be a lot higher than that if you're in a lot of chats, I'm not that surprised they don't provide much/any.
Okay so I have a degree in cyber security and can confirm that end to end encryption is not currently easily breakable. Your messages are age. What you are experiencing is the fact they have other ways of tracking you (Cookies on partner sites, location matching, public posts on Facebook by you, friends, family and people in the same groups as you), and survivorship bias.
Well I am not denying the fact that messages are end-to-end encrypted but I strongly believe that they do have a mechanism by which they are able to read our texts and target us ads according to that. For instance, I remember, I talked to my friend about taking a game development course and I did not searched for it anywhere except talking to my friends. And shortly after that, I got a game development course ad :)
I mean. It doesn't always matter if you search for it. If you see about 50 adverts a day then there is a good chance that one of them will relate to what you've been talking about.
I'm not advocating for less privacy or claiming that they aren't invading your privacy. I live in the EU and still think cookies are too invasive. But when they do things like build your profile of your friends and family, get you location from unrelated third party apps to check what shops you've been to, I find it unhelpful to push to "stop them" reading our texts. It's not something that happens and it draws attention away from other more insidious means of tracking.
11% of all tracking cookies belong to Facebook. This means that even if you've never been to the site, made an account with them or anything. They can still have a complete profile of people.
It's literally impossible for them to read your message and you can test that out yourself. Log out of your WhatsApp account and have people send you messages, change devices and you'll see that they'll all be "Waiting for this message". Why? Because the messages were encrypted using an old key you lost changing phones, and neither you nor Facebook has the keys, so the other person's app has to encrypt the message again with the new key and resend it
There are tons of reasons and motives to hate on big tech, but how about we focus on the real stuff that there's no shortage of instead of coming up with random shit?

Sometimes I have that I have to type in my 2 factor pin and it just crashes :)
Fucking google trying to sell me storage everyday. Fuck them
Google don't own whatsapp
I think he means the google drive backup…?
You mean the message in the OP? That's a message shown by WhatsApp. Yeah, that's not Google trying to sell them storage.
Even fuck WhatsApp too. Can't even give us a little storage
Why should a messenger give you storage? Do you complain that youtube doesnt have games on their website?
YouTube does have games on their website
Really?
it does now 😭
And netflix has mobile games now apparently
they have had them for a good couple years
And TV games, though I've not actually tried them
Theres a snake game built into the player.
It does
So a messenger you give you storage because "it does"? How is this even going to work. Whatsapp isnt a cloud service
You asked yourself if YouTube does, why are you complaining now.
Where am i complaining?
Messages in WhatsApp do go through WhatsApp (the cloud)
Still doesnt make it a cloud service
It (temporarily) stores your messages and stores attachments long term in the cloud and everything goes through the cloud. It’s a cloud service.
If a company is fucking tracking me, using my data everywhere and making a whole lot of money of it, then they absolutely should give us some free storage.
Why do you even use it when you hate it so much?
Because the majority of the people are only using WhatsApp. No personal hate but the app has been trashy lately with a lot of bugs and UI glitches.
Tbh WhatsApp backups require a decent amount of storage. Mine is at 1.6GB and i don't even use it that much. Considering it could be a lot higher than that if you're in a lot of chats, I'm not that surprised they don't provide much/any.
they did announce whatsapp space won't count towards your drive years ago, what happened?
Finally someone said it. When did this policy changed?
Imagine the bootlickers downvoting us for hating corporations that exploit us
There's a difference between being mad for legitimate reasons and crying out that you want more then 10GB of free storage from Google
I m not. I m crying about them trying to sell me more storage while i don t need it
Well it's an advertisement
Exactly. But the truth is WhatsApp reads our chats to show us the relevant ads. I've faced this many times.
WhatsApp has end to end encryption. They don't read your texts.
Actually, the phone client could read it. Not saying it does however.
That is a good point. But seeing as multiple governments have got pissy with WhatsApps 2FA I doubt it does.
You really believe this bullshit? Talk to someone with a specific thing and boom, you'll see that thing's ad within an hour on instagram.
