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

      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.
