Unless you manually backup WhatsApp, you can easily lose access to important conversations, or worse, your contacts themselves. Here's how to backup WhatsApp to ensure that doesn't happen.

By Robin Barber (Associate Editor)

Whether you’re about to move to a new device or just worried about losing your conversations, there are many reasons why you should backup your data. Helpfully, some apps — including WhatsApp — have ways to backup your data automatically. In this article, we’ll show you how to backup WhatsApp messages and attachments on your phone.

Key Takeaways:

• You can backup WhatsApp messages from within the app.
• By default, Android devices use Google Drive and iOS devices use iCloud for the backup.
• There are other services that can store the backup you create.
• You can recover your WhatsApp chats during the installation process.

Although you can create a local backup on your phone, you can’t easily use it to move conversations to a new device and it won’t protect anything from most cybercrime or physical damage. Instead, you should keep a copy in the cloud. Luckily, it only takes a few taps to save all your WhatsApp data to either Google Drive or iCloud.

• The easiest way to backup WhatsApp is with the built-in feature that lets you save your chats to either iCloud or Google Drive — on iOS or Android, respectively. Simply go into “settings,” “chats” then “chat backup.” Here, there will be a backup button and an auto-backup feature that you can set up.

• When you install WhatsApp on your phone, it will ask you if it should restore chat histories. Make sure that your backup is on your device or your connected cloud storage — either Google Drive or iCloud — before downloading it, and then choose that option when it appears.

• Simply follow the method to backup your WhatsApp data either locally or to the cloud, and then you can download that data file to your new device. However, if you’ve connected your phone to your iCloud or Google account, you should be able to restore your data without downloading it first.

How to Backup WhatsApp on iPhone

For most Apple device users, you’ll want to backup your WhatsApp chats to your iCloud storage — and you can read more on this service in our full iCloud review. You could backup everything on your iPhone, but the best way to backup just WhatsApp is to use the backup feature that’s built into the app, which is a simple four-step process.

1. Tap “Settings”

   When you open WhatsApp from your home screen, you’ll notice five buttons along the bottom. Select the option on the far right, labeled “settings.”

   In WhatsApp, tap the “settings” icon in the bottom-right corner.

2. Select “Chat Backup”

   Choose “chat backup” from the “chats” page.

   Go into your chat backup settings.

3. Tap “Back Up Now”

   You can either tap “back up now” to start the backup process or select “auto backup” and change your backup frequency.

   Tap “back up now” to start creating a backup.

How to Backup WhatsApp on Android 

Although the process is similar, WhatsApp puts its buttons in slightly different places on Android devices. It’ll also save everything to your Google Drive account. Note that with this service, you give up some privacy and security in return for high speeds and a great third-party integration — and you can find out more in our full Google Drive review.

1. Tap “Settings”

   Choose “settings” from the dropdown list.

   Choose “settings” from the dropdown menu.

2. Go Into “Chats”

   In WhatsApp’s settings, tap “chats” to get access to your conversation settings.

   Go into your “chats” settings.

3. Select “Chat Backup”

   You’ll find “chat backup” near the bottom of the page, next to an icon in the shape of a cloud.

   Tap “chat backup” for your backup options.

4. Tap “Back Up”

   Tap on “back up” to do a manual backup or “back up to Google Drive” to set your backup frequency. If you haven’t connected your phone to a Google account, it will only create a local backup.

   Start to back your messages up to your Google drive.

Store Your WhatsApp Backup in the Cloud 

With neither iCloud nor Google Drive being among the best cloud storage services for security, you may be worried about the privacy of your conversations. Luckily, you can use a more secure service by saving your backup files to your preferred remote storage app.

1. Sync.com

Sync.com’s incredible mobile app makes it one of the best.

At this point, it’s no surprise that Sync.com is our favorite cloud storage provider. Although our full Sync.com review goes into more detail, when it comes down to it, 2TB of space with high-end security for both PC and mobile devices at only $8.00 per month is practically unbeatable, plus you can get 5GB of cloud storage for free.

2. pCloud

pCloud is a solid option, especially for high-speed transfers.

Despite pCloud’s odd choice to make zero-knowledge encryption a paid add-on, pCloud and Sync.com are closely matched. If you’re looking for ease of use and speed, and you’re willing to pay extra for security, check out our full pCloud review. You can get started with 10GB of free cloud storage.

3. Icedrive

Icedrive is a young service, but it’s still one of the best.

Although it is newer to the cloud storage scene, Icedrive ties with Sync.com in our comparison. It doesn’t lack much in any category, including providing 10GB of free space — even if its customer support could be improved — and it’ll definitely keep your data safe. So if you’re willing to go for a younger service, read our full Icedrive review for more information. 

How To Restore Your WhatsApp Backup

To restore WhatsApp from a backup, you’re going to need to reinstall it from an app store, such as Google Play. However, as WhatsApp limits how often you can receive verification text messages to a specific phone number, you should make sure you know what you’re doing before you begin.

1. Give WhatsApp the Necessary Permissions

   In order to restore your WhatsApp message history, you’ll need to allow access to your contacts, photos, media and files. Start by tapping “continue.”

   You need to tap “continue” to start the process.

2. Tap “Allow” on Each Permission

   Make sure to allow every permission that WhatsApp asks for, or else you won’t be able to restore your messages.

   Allow the permissions that WhatsApp asks for.

3. Start Restoring WhatsApp

   After it has found a backup file, check that it’s from the source you expected and tap “restore” to recover all of your conversations.

   Check to make sure it’s recovering from the right email address and tap “restore.”

4. Finish Setting Up WhatsApp

   Once you’ve restored your WhatsApp chats from the backup, tap “next” to finish setting it up.

   Tap “next” and finish setting up WhatsApp.

Final Thoughts: How to Backup WhatsApp

Whether you’re an iOS or an Android user, there’s no reason you can’t backup your WhatsApp chats and conversations. You can then use this backup to quickly recover all of your messages, as well as any photos, videos and other attachments that have been part of a conversation.

If you have saved your WhatsApp data to the cloud but can’t see it in there, be sure to look in your backup folder. Providers often keep this separate, so people don’t damage their backups by accident, but you can usually still access it through the official web page on your computer.

However, if you don’t need to use this recovery feature and are limited in space, you can instead use the “export chat” option under “chat history.” This’ll create a text file of the conversation you had with one person. You can even ignore photos and videos, so it doesn’t take up too much memory.

Keep in mind that to accomplish the backup you’ll need a reliable VPN to bypass the WhatsApp ban in Dubai and other countries where WhatsApp is banned. We also have a guide on how to unblock WhatsApp in China.

If you don’t plan on using WhatsApp anymore, our guide will help you understand how to delete your WhatsApp account and this piece will help you find a WhatsApp alternative. Plus, we also have a guide on how to recover data from a broken phone, in case you need it.

In order for your child to have their own Google account or profile, we may need your permission to collect, use and disclose your child's information in accordance with this Privacy Notice and Google's Privacy Policy. By allowing a child to use our services, you trust us with their personal information, as well as information about yourself. We do everything to ensure the security of this data and provide you with the ability to manage it. You can choose whether or not your child can change the tracking settings for activities stored in app and web history, YouTube history, and other services.

This Privacy Notice for Google Profiles and Accounts Managed with Family Link and owned by children under 13 (age limits may vary by country) and Google's Privacy Policy describe Google's privacy practices Google. Those measures that apply directly to your child's profile or account, such as restrictions on interest-based advertising, are described in this Privacy Notice.

This Privacy Notice does not apply to third-party apps and sites (non-Google) that a child may use. Always check the current terms and conditions of use to understand if these sites and applications are suitable for your child. In particular, pay attention to how data is collected and used.

What data we collect

Once you give your child permission to create a Google profile or account, their profile or account will generally be subject to the same information we collect as your own account. Examples of such information are listed below.

Information you or your child provide to us and content you create

When you create an account or profile, we may ask for personal information such as first name, last name, email address and date of birth. We collect information that you or your child provides, such as contact information, and use it to contact you when we need your consent. In addition, we collect content that your child creates, uploads, and receives from other people using their account or profile. This includes, but is not limited to, pictures your child saves in Google Photos and documents they create in Google Drive.

Information we receive from your child's use of our services

We automatically collect and store certain information about what services your child uses and how they interact with them. The source of this data can be, for example, a query on Google Search, a command to the Google Assistant, or a YouTube video for Kids. Some of the types of such information are listed below.

• Information about apps, browsers and devices used by the child

  We collect information about the apps, browsers and devices your child uses to access Google services. This information includes, but is not limited to, unique identifiers, browser and device type and settings, operating system, mobile network information (including carrier name and phone number), and application version. We also collect information about how the apps, browsers and devices your child uses interact with our services. This includes, but is not limited to, IP addresses, crash reports, information about system activity, and the date, time, and referral URL. This data is collected, for example, when the Google service on your child's device accesses our servers. This can happen when installing an application from Google Play and in other situations.

• Information about your child's activities

  We collect information about your child's activities on Google services. We use this data, for example, to recommend applications on Google Play to him. You can allow or prevent your child from changing their activity tracking settings. This type of information includes, but is not limited to, search queries, audio data transmitted when using voice control, videos watched, information about users with whom your child communicates or shares content, and Chrome browser history synced with a Google account. If your child uses Google services (such as Google Meet or Duo) to make and receive calls or send and receive messages, we may collect call and message data. In their Google account, your child can view and delete the information already recorded in the profile or account and specify what data should be stored. You too can manage your child's activities by logging into their Google account or Family Link profile.

• Your child's location

  We collect information about your child's location when they use Google services. We may determine its location using GPS data, IP address, information from sensors on the device, and information about objects around it, such as Wi-Fi hotspots, cell towers, and Bluetooth-enabled devices. The types of location data we collect depend in part on the settings of the devices you and your child own.

• Your child's voice control data

  We may collect your child's voice control data, for example, when they say "Ok Google" or click the microphone icon. A recording of the next phrase (including a few seconds before it) can be saved from all devices on which the child is signed into a Google Account, if the application and web history is turned on.

We use tools and technologies such as cookies, pixel tags, local storage (such as browser web storage and application caches, databases and server logs) to collect and store information. We do not require a child to provide more personal information than is necessary to use the Google products and services available in their account or profile.

How we use the data we collect

The Google Privacy Policy details how we may use the data we collect associated with your child's Google profile or account. We primarily use your child's information to: offer, maintain, and improve our services; create new services; customize services based on your child's needs; track their performance and usage; directly interact with the child on issues related to our services; and improve the reliability and security of services.

We use different technologies to process your child's data for these purposes. Our automated systems analyze content associated with your child's account to tailor search results and tailor other features based on how your child uses our services. In addition, this analysis allows us to detect spam, malware, illegal content and other violations. We also apply algorithms to find patterns in the data. If we detect spam, malware, illegal content, or other policy violations on our systems, we may disable your child's profile or account, or take other action. Under certain circumstances, we may also report the violation to the competent government authorities.

We may use your child's information to provide recommendations, personalized search results, and content of interest to your child. For example, if allowed in the settings, we can use the list of apps installed on a child's device to recommend new apps on Google Play.

In addition, for the purposes described above, we may combine data collected from our services and devices used by your child. Depending on your profile and account settings, we may associate your child's activities on our websites and apps with your child's personal information to improve Google services.

Google does not show interest-based ads to children. This means ads are not matched based on information from your child's profile or account. Instead, it may be related to the content of the site or application you are viewing, to the current search term, or to an approximate location (eg city or state). When using websites and third-party applications, the child may see ads from other providers (not from Google), including personalized ads.

What information a child can share with others

By signing in with their profile or Google account, a child can share information, including photos, videos, audio recordings, and location information, by posting these materials to the public or sending them to others. If the child makes such information public, it can be found in search engines such as Google Search.

When does Google provide access to data

In some cases, access to the information we collect may be provided to third parties. We do not disclose users' personal data to organizations and individuals not affiliated with Google, except as noted below.

With user consent

We may share personal information with non-Google parties (where appropriate) with the user's consent.

Within a family group

Information about your child, including their name, photo, email address, and Google Play shopping list, may be shared with members of your Google family group.

For processing by third parties

We share personal data with Google affiliates and other trusted companies and individuals for processing on behalf of Google. Such processing is in accordance with our instructions, this Privacy Notice, the Google Privacy Policy and other applicable privacy and security measures.

For legal reasons

We share personal data with organizations and individuals not affiliated with Google when we believe in good faith that access to, use, storage or disclosure of this data is reasonable and necessary for the following purposes:

• compliance with the requirements of legislation, regulations, court orders or mandatory requests from government agencies;

• enforce the Terms of Use and investigate potential violations;

• detecting, preventing or otherwise countering fraud, security and technical failures;

• to protect the rights, property, and safety of Google, our users, and the public at large, to the extent required and permitted by law.

We may also make non-personally identifiable information (such as trends in the use of our services) publicly available or shared with our partners, such as publishers, advertisers, developers, and rights holders. For example, publicly available data about the use of our services is shared. In addition, we allow some partners to collect information about browsers and devices for the purpose of managing advertising and measuring its effectiveness. Partners use their own cookies and similar technologies for this.

Accessing your child's personal information

If your child has a Google Account, you can sign in to view, edit, delete, or export your child's information and set limits on how it can be processed. If you don't remember your child's account password, you can change it in the app or on the Family Link website. Once signed in, you can use the various features described in the Google Privacy Policy (such as activity tracking) to manage your child's privacy settings and information.

If the child has a profile, you can view, edit, delete, and export the child's data in the Family Link app or website, as well as set restrictions on its processing.

The child can delete history on the My Activity page and grant third parties app permissions by default (including device location, microphone, and contacts). With Family Link, you can also change your child's profile or Google account information, view app activity history and app permissions, and allow or block your child from sharing their data with apps or third-party services.

If you wish to stop the collection and use of your child's information, you can delete your child's profile or Google account. To do this, click the "Delete profile" or "Delete account" button on the profile or account details page in the Family Link app or website. After a while, your child's profile or account information will be permanently deleted.

It is very easy to download the data archive - it does not require special technical knowledge.
