If you’re reading this, you’re probably one of the 1.5 billion active WhatsApp users who are looking for a secure way to back up, restore, and recover messages, pictures, and videos.
Most of us use WhatsApp as it offers not only an affordable way to communicate (skipping the expensive phone plan altogether) but because it makes it easier for us to share pictures, videos, and documents with other WhatsApp contacts, friends, and family.
However, WhatsApp made some changes that effect the way in which backups work. This has been extremely challenging, especially if you’re looking to keep your conversations and files saved. We’re going to share some tips on how you can back up, restore, and recover information from WhatsApp.
This will be the starting point and the easiest way to backup WhatsApp conversations. To do this, simply access the WhatsApp app, then go to “Settings” — “Chats” — “Back up”
After you select this option, WhatsApp will save all backups to your SD card, if you are using one. If not, then conversations will be saved to your phone’s hard drive. Once configured, WhatsApp will automatically create daily backups.
If you’ve lost or accidentally deleted conversations, which you’ve been fortunate enough to back up, here’s a quick three-step process on how you can restore this data:
WhatsApp offers an additional option for Android devices to backup your conversations in the cloud using Google Drive as the main source. One of the benefits is that you can control how often conversations are being saved to Google Drive. The process is very straight forward. Access the WhatsApp app, then go to “Settings” — “Chats” — “Back up to Google Drive”
As an alternative, there’s another way to find deleted conversations and files in case you haven’t backed them up from WhatsApp of Google Drive.
Please note that when you delete WhatsApp data on your phone, its not actually gone forever… yet. Deleted WhatsApp media files, images, videos, and audios are saved in a folder on your device. You can easily locate this by connecting your phone to your laptop or PC.
Here’s how to accomplish this:
