KrauseFx,

Just lost 7 years of WhatsApp messages, even though I did everything possible when it comes to backups.

WhatsApp only allows iCloud backups, which is okay, however they overwrite existing backups (with empty ones) and no way to restore the originals.

Dataloss (especially highly personal memories) is still one of the worst things software can do, especially when you're locked-in, and can't do proper backups on my own like for the rest of my data through TimeMachine, arqbackup and local storage.

@KrauseFx and that why you should never rely on WhatsApp for anything relevant.

KrauseFx,

@kimschulz If I had a choice, I wouldn't even have it installed
