When the WhatsApp backup is in progress, it is uploading all the chats and attachments to the secure platform. If you don’t care about keeping old conversations or attachments at a safe place, then the WhatsApp gives you the freedom to turn off automatic backup in progress. To do this, you have to open WhatsApp on your iPhone or Android and do the following:
Step 1: Click on the three vertical dots on Android. From the given options, you have to tap on “Settings”. In an iPhone, “Settings” is found at the bottom of the WhatsApp screen.
Step 2: Open the “Chats” option and then tap “Chat Backup”.
Step 3: In the iPhone, turn off the “Auto Backup” option. In an Android device, go to the Google drive portion and click to “Backup to Google Drive>Never” if you want to turn off auto backup.
