In the announcement, it was explained that in December, all storage on WhatsApp Android will depend on the user’s Google Drive capacity.

Luckily, the change will take place for those participating in the Beta, and will be followed by the next version of WhatsApp with a target distribution in the first quarter of 2024.

Will be Synchronized Directly with the Cloud

Furthermore, the policy will directly synchronize the data on the smartphone with that in the cloud. Google through its official announcement informs that if any data or files are deleted from the cloud, it will be automatically deleted on WhatsApp in use.
