a new bug attached to the chat backup drains the data traffic

Whatsapp is grappling with a new problem, this time more serious than the clbadic bug or the clbadic scam fake certificates . Specifically, it is possible to find a problem with the backup conversations since the latter does not save only the last messages [VIDEO] but each time that it repeats the whole of the backup, including chats already present in the backup. This, of course, results in higher consumption for those who have a monthly subscription, and greater consumption of credit for those who pay for consumption. If the backup is done via the Wi-Fi connection the only "mange" that can be found is the one that takes longer to complete the operation.

Whatsapp Bug Report

As reported in tweet below, many users have reported this bug after making another backup of Google Drive and instead of having a weight of about 60 MB, the occupied space increased to around 5 GB .

This means consuming in one day more than half the data traffic that subscriptions offer monthly. To solve this problem, it is necessary to configure the backup operation only and exclusively in the presence of the connection Wi-Fi : this parameter is not by default on Whatsapp, so, most likely, all interested users will need to step on the parameters to change this setting and not dry out the data traffic.

Other users report however in the last hours that some accounts are literally unable to make a full backup, because the process suddenly interrupts without any reason. Once the application restored and you return to the item dedicated to saving the copy of conversations, the amount of data to memorize double compared to this which has been found before.

moment, no statement has been published and therefore the reason why this is happening is not yet clear. One thing is 100% sure: you must disable the backup with the data traffic of the mobile phone. Only in this way, you avoid being the victim of the new bug on one of the most used social networks in the world for the exchange of messages [VIDEO] the multimedia content, the calls and the video calls. You need to see how long it will take to fix the problem reported by the users and check if, indeed, the changes will solve the whole.
