In India, WhatsApp plans to change the game on data management when it launches its own cloud storage service in May 2025. The service will provide 10 GB of free space, as well as paid options for additional capacity. This way, services like Google Drive and iCloud are bypassed for an integrated, more secure, and user-friendly way of backing up data with end-to-end encryption. It simplifies data management, saves money, and also increases privacy. The big user base of WhatsApp in India can disrupt the whole cloud ecosystem, or at least bring pressure on competitors to rethink their offerings and pave the way for broader service integration by Meta.
