I agree that the Whatsapp photo backup issue is fairly pressing on lots of devices - my partner's phone runs low on storage all the time, and when I clean it out for her it's always because I find that her Whatsapp group chats are eating ten gigs of storage with videos and photos she doesn't care about. But dumping them all is also pretty problematic because she works on the assumption that the ones she cares about will be there. The big problem is game data backup. The market has bluntly rejected Google's opt in system, and something needs to be done. Users care far more about the stuff that isn't backed up in Android, not the stuff that is. And far too much backup is hidden behind opt-ins that regular users just skip during backup. It needs to be on by default and opt out.
