WHATSAPP TO DELETE OLD CHATS IF THEY ARE NOT SAVED AS PART OF DEAL WITH GOOGLE

The decision is part of a plan to offer free backup of all messages – but comes with a major catch

WhatsApp will soon delete old messages, photos and videos unless they are properly protected.

The removal comes as part of a deal that is being offered as a benefit to users: Google will allow people to back up their chats into its servers for free, meaning that messages will be protected.

But it has a catch because any old chats that haven't been properly protected will be removed at the same time.
