sorry if wrong section or unlogic question.
so i have use wasap since 2017. registered using a gmail account (free 15gb)
lately 90% used up. so i deleted email spam, sent, thrash. still 70% used up.
if used up 100% then have to pay monthly for extra gb. if use new gmail, then all prev wasap gone right?
so my question:
- besides gmail, gdrive, google photos, does any wasap content (chat texts, pics, contacts) used up gmail account storage?
- if back then if i registered wasap under yahoo mail 1tb storage, wsap content will use yahoo account right?
- or wasap only can be registered under gmail?

to answer your questions
yes, your whatsapp backup uses your google drive storage, it used to be free unlimited many years ago, no longer
if you're using an iphone, it uses iCloud
no, you cannot use Yahoo Mail
it is strictly iCloud on Apple devices and Google Drive on Android Devices
it is not related to the email you used when registering, but rather what device you use when you try to backup
Yahoo can give you 1TB because they don't have a cloud storage option and they know you probably wont end up with 1TB of emails

You can change backup settings to use another Gmail. However previous backups will be there in old Gmail. You will need to do backup again into new Gmail manually
so my question:
- besides gmail, gdrive, google photos, does any wasap content (chat texts, pics, contacts) used up gmail account storage?
Only Backup files of WhatsApp will used up Gmail drive storage
- if back then if i registered wasap under yahoo mail 1tb storage, wsap content will use yahoo account right?
Not possible to use yahoo as backup, yahoo doesn't have cloud drive unlike Gmail or Microsoft
- or wasap only can be registered under gmail?
If you're confused, wasap usually is registered using phone number, not email. Gmail is used solely for backup purpose

Only Google drive can, that's why Google is charging an arm & a leg for their cloud storage service
