Google starts rolling out local Documents backup on Android, lets you turn off SMS & RCS

Google is now offering more control to Android users over their messaging and file backups with the rollout of new settings. This change follows Android's recent backup policy update, allowing users to toggle whether SMS, MMS, and RCS messages are backed up to Google Drive. Additionally, Android is starting to offer local backup options for documents, which could improve privacy and reduce reliance on Google's cloud services. This move is significant as it gives users more autonomy over their data and aligns with growing concerns about digital privacy.
