  • Suppose I want to keep a backup and decide later what I want to discard, I will have to keep on doing it manually each time to update the archive.

    WhatsApp did it properly before where I could easily backup the whole directory which included all media and chat database locally. But now they are forcing Google backups which I do not like. I was looking for alternatives but they all seem to need this kind of manual saves. Eg. Signal, Twin Me, and the recently tried Jami.

  • It was just a thought for organising menu options. On second thoughts I realise it was not much.

    Only thing I can think of right now is that creating communities and also adding instances should be more easily findable.

  • I was looking for it in this sequence: Create reply -> Create post -> Create community.

    I did not even think that creating community could be admin level. Anyway I am on Lemmy World so it will not be an issue for me. Thank you.

    Location of it could be in the right menu for Profile as you said.

    And this is giving me another thought. Is it a good flow if the locations are based on flow of information eg. Voting on a post, Replying to a post, creating a post, creating a community are all information outflow activities. Subscribing to a community, adding an instance are all information inflow activities.

  • Have you checked the official website of WhatsApp? You can only restore local backups if you are on older Android versions. On newer Androids it is only Google backup.

    https://faq.whatsapp.com/6181521285295518/?helpref=hc_fnav&cms_platform=android Nowhere will you find reference to local backup other than this. And my experience confirms it.

    You might have succeeded because you and I might have been part of A/B testing but this is going to be the future.
