Samsung S7, android 6.0.1, UK version.

I am trying to find where one can configure which apps get their data backed up to google drive.

The internet is full of tutorials but they usually refer to some out of date or carrier specific version of android so the menus differ.

Under Drive / top left menu / Settings / Manage Backups is missing.

I can see the list of backups under Drive / top left menu / which shows the various backups I have (it shows one for the phone, one for a T705 tablet, and mysteriously one for whatsapp. But that doesn't show any options for different apps.

I am pretty sure there is a config somewhere (or used to be) for backing up specific apps. I would like to back up the Telegram messaging app database for example.
