Hidden WhatsApp Backup on Google Drive

Hi All,

I've always asked myself, where on Google the Whatsapp Backup will be stored. It's kind of hidden and does not count against the Quota of Google Drive.

Once logged into Google Drive, click on "Speicherplatz". As you can see the 18GB Whatsapp Backup is not counted against the 17 GB Quota of Google Drive.

Then on top right "Sicherungen"

Now you can see your Whatsapp Backup
