iPhone 13 iCloud almost full warning forces me to switch to Samsung later

[Cram]

If you do the math, that’s 13 years of growth.

Indeed, but who needs to keep 13 years' worth of WhatsApp messages?

Are you sure CIA FBI cannot direct access your data, camera, microphone of your iPhone? LOL

I tend to forget about those 😆

 

[Macative]

Either turn everything iCloud-related off, or pay 0,99 currency/month for 50GB. 🤷‍♂️

I think even if I was as cheap as the OP, I would still pay the $0.99 cents instead of buying a $500 Samsung to get rid of an error message.

LOL no worry I think Chinese brands phone staff would just randomly turn on the camera to watch for fun lol

I've never used WhatsApp, but is there a setting to delete messages after a certain period? This could provide an easy storage reduction that operates autonomously. I've hardly been in a situation where I need a text from months/years ago, but that could just be due to limiting important conversations to modes with easier record-keeping.

No, they only provide some basic filter like larger than 5mb pictures

To sum up the OP, he doesn't want to get notified he is getting close to running out of his free 5GB iCloud account and doesn't seem to want to pay for more.

Proposing that you will instead buy an Android phone to solve the storage problem is rather stupid, in my opinion. It makes no sense to complain about spending $12 a year for iCloud and then say yes to an Android phone, which is $400+.

And S22 FE plus will be half price of non pro max

So, what. Your thinking is illogical to say the least.

Why even make the thread? All you have done is argue with people.

My 4g plan with 120gb, 10k minutes, voice message is just $40 per year, why would I pay 25% of my 4g plan just to backup WhatsApp?

Let us know when you figured out how to transfer your whatsapp from iPhone to Android.

iPhone to android is still possible, android to iPhone is almost impossible

Have you done it?
I'm not arguing with you, I'm seriously curious to see how the process goes. Would be nice if you can share your experience.

Just Google it

You don't even want to share your experience? I'm guessing you actually never do it then. So all this talk is just BS, I guess.
Alright, bye.

Free 5gb

99 cents for 50gb, that’s too much for your blood?

 

[OnawaAfrica]

I don't think there is a way to deactive this iCloud almost full warning. It keeps coming up again and again. There is only like 2.5gb left with IOS system backup, I can only keep deleting old big what's app messages and this is more annoying than Android.

S21 FE is only around 460 US dollars in my city now, if big screen version exists for S22 FE with this cheap price range, I will just go back to Android.

I don't buy iCloud storage, I just don't think spending that much money for a phone every year makes sense. Only having like 2gb free for what's app doesn't make sense for me.

lol just because u use up your storage on icloud u wanan switch to Android? stop whining and pay 9$ for 1TB or stop pushing all ur data to icloud smh

It's no different on Samsung you end up needing to pay for OneDrive storage instead

$9 a month just for WhatsApp backup is too much

Free 5gb

It’s pretty cheap to upgrade iCloud to enough storage for a proper backup and general usage. Then you won’t get the warnings. It’s cheap insurance against loss for your photos.

More than 200gb photos, cheap with iCloud?

 

[Cram]

More than 200gb photos, cheap with iCloud?

So we've gone from storing ridiculous numbers of whatsapp messages top over 200gb of photos? You do like to move those goalposts.

 

[skottichan]

That gets you 2TB.
