Following a significant shift in Android backup policies, Google is introducing a suite of features aimed at giving users more granular control over their data. The update introduces the ability to create local backups of the Documents folder, offering a reliable alternative to cloud-only storage. Additionally, users can now toggle specific settings to enable or disable cloud backups for SMS, MMS, and RCS messages. These changes provide enhanced privacy options and help users better manage their cloud storage quotas by selecting exactly which communication histories are preserved.
