WhatsApp stores your backups on Google Drive, and the number of backups depends on how frequently you back up your chats and the size of your conversations.

Generally, WhatsApp keeps the most recent backup and overwrites old backups, however, it will save more backups when:

You manually back up your chats.
You are using iCloud to back up your chats.

The amount of storage WhatsApp backups take up depends on the kind of media (i.e. photos, videos, etc.) you're sending and the size of the conversations.

To check how much space your WhatsApp backups are taking up in Google Drive, open Google Drive, select the ‘Backups’ folder and then click ‘Settings’. You can then view the total amount of space taken up by your backups.

Google Drive can only save one WhatsApp backup at a time. This means that when you create a backup, the previous backup will be overwritten.

Here are some useful tips to help you manage your WhatsApp backups to Google Drive:

• Schedule regular backups: Set up regular backups of your conversation history so your conversations are up to date in case you ever need them.

• Delete old backups: When you create a new backup, the old backup is overwritten. You can delete old backups to save storage on your Google Drive.

• Change destination: You can change the destination of your backups to another service like iCloud instead of Google Drive.

• Refresh your backups: If you switch devices, you can restore your chats and media from Google Drive. Make sure you refresh your backups to get the most updated version.

• Check storage: To make sure your backups didn’t run out of storage, check your Google Drive periodically to see available space and if any backups have been made.
