I just clicked on What's App on my Android phone to send a message and then it asked me to backup my Chats (messages) and Media on Google Drive.
You have a choice (lucky enough there's NEVER in the selection). Why would I do that?! Am I the only one noticing this?! Like WTF!!

Important: Media and messages you back up are not protected by WhatsApp end-to-end encryption while in Google Drive.
EDIT
To ensure you are not backing up to your Google Drive:
+ Click on the three dots top right corner
+ Click on Settings
+ Click on Chats backup
