    But it’s text, an entire persons message history can be stored very cheaply.

    A million words is only 2MB.

    Most people are expexted to text less than 10 millions words in a lifetime.

    An entire persons lifetime message history is only 20MB, that’s trivial to store.

    If they want to charge to save media, thats fine, but text backups should be free

      WhatsApp bundles them together, that is the problem. Google does not know how to differentiate it.
