We are getting Cloud Backups in the future! Currently, there are two tiers planned:

The free tier offers:

30 days of media backup
??? GB of storage

The paid ($3 / mo) tier offers:

media & text backup forever
1TB of storage Both tiers' features and the pricing of the paid plan are still subject to change

What do you think about this?

Yaaaay, that's the last big thing I was looking for

Wow 1TB is a lot of storage. I think my backups are ~1Gb so it might be nice to have some tiers in the middle for those on a budget. At the same time, a lot of those media files are gifs and memes 😄

I send a lot of voice and video messages to friends and family. I think it was about 10GB when I did a transfer to a new phone last year, so I'm glad there are larger storage options.

I think in your (and most other) case(s) the free tier would be just fine

Yea that's the hope, I might add in a donation if that's the case

I'm hovering at ~9GB at the moment. 🥲
