WhatsApp has started rolling out a new beta 2.22.13.11 update to the Android version of the app through the Google Play Beta Program. The most intriguing aspect of this update is that it concerns Google Drive backups: in a future edition of the application, the ability to export the backups created will be included.

WhatsApp’s beta and stable upgrades have added a slew of new features in recent weeks. You can see the full list of features below, and then we’ll get back to the WhatsApp beta 2.22.13.11 version.

• New end-to-end encryption indicators arriving.
• Passing through the future possibility of use on more than one smartphone and tools for group administrators.
• To the work of improving ephemeral messages.
• Larger groups of up to 512 people.
• The list of former participants.
• WhatsApp Premium subscription plan.
• Editing text messages.
• Sending files.
• The double verification code to combat account theft.
• The return to the old home screen, and status updates.

WhatsApp Beta: the latest update is version 2.22. 13.11

There was mention of some prospective modifications (i.e. limitations) related to WhatsApp’s backups on Google Drive at the beginning of the year, at the end of January. There were suggestions that Google would be willing to provide limited storage options in the future. After those first, less-than-exciting rumors, the speech remained pending, with no further information emerging; as a result, it is impossible to determine if the program has changed in the interim.

At least, it wasn’t possible until only a few hours ago, when WhatsApp Beta 2.22.13.11 was released, revealing evidence of ongoing development on an export function for Google Drive backups.

As seen in the screenshot below, a new feature called ” Export backup ” will be added to the bottom of the settings page dedicated to chat backup in a future app version (accessible via the path ” Settings> Chat> Chat backup “).

Users will be able to utilize this option to export their Google Drive backups, and the export will contain all chats as well as any multimedia items, such as photos, videos, and other files, as indicated in the language below.

Although it is not apparent in the screenshot, the source also mentions a second new WhatsApp feature that will be available in addition to the one just described: users will be able to import the same backups back to Google Drive. Users will have more control over their Drive backups this way.

At this time, it is unclear why the WhatsApp team opted to implement the aforementioned alternatives, but there is a strong possibility that they are linked to the above-mentioned adjustments. Because the functions in question are still in development, they are not yet available to the general public. The development team is working to include these in a future app version, with priority given to beta testers as always, so this is just a sneak peek.
