Hello guys!

I'm opening this thread because there's something that I'm not understanding about whatsapp.

I cleared my whatsapp and deleted a lot of photos and basically all videos. When I check the used store in whatsapp settings it shows 3gb of usage, but my backup have 7.7GB.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Beside that, I found out that when I restore my backup a lot of pictures (from groups that I already cleared/deleted) are restored in my whatsapp images gallery folder.

Looks like whatsapp, somehow, keeps a backup of these deleted pictures.

I already deleted my google drive backup and created a new one, but this didn't solve my problem.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks!
