How is it going everybody you’re welcome at TheMacUser.com and today let’s talk about Whatsapp backup on the iPhone because there are actually two ways that you can do a full WhatsApp backup on your iPhone
what I mean by full is a backup that includes all your chats so all your messages and also your media so photos video audio messages and of course your stickers
so there are two ways to do it. One of them is kind of the obvious way to do it but it’s full of issues and problems and maybe that’s the reason why you’re reading this blog
and the other one always works is the best way to do it is the right way to do it and that’s the one I’m gonna focus on in this Article right
now so without further let’s begin
How to Backup WhatsApp chat in iPhone
How to Backup WhatsApp chat on iPhone (1st Way)
so first a quick overview and as I said there are two ways to do it and the first one the most obvious one is just
- going ahead and opening up WhatsApp
- then go into settings the last tab right here and then chats
- then click on chat back up and then back up now
which is going to be a blue button right here okay so this first method as i said is the most obvious one and that’s the one that’s full of issues because
- sometimes it just gets stuck here maybe under preparing maybe under uploading. This percentage just won’t go up as I am right now right here
- it happens all the time it won’t go anywhere just stuck here for hours or even days okay this is very common or even maybe it finishes this process okay which is even worse so this finishes up it goes to 100%. It says that the backup has successfully finished
- when you go ahead and you restore when you go ahead and you pick up your new phone or if for some reason you need to restore your phone and when you go ahead and restore the WhatsApp information you have all your information all your chats and everything
but your media look like this
this is what your media looks like a ton of question marks issues and problems. Sometimes some of the photos are here and some are not. Sometimes you have some media and then somewhere missing are gone the same thing with your uh stickers and everything
so as I said this process of backing up you are like your chat backup within the WhatsApp app. That’s not the best way to do it, that’s the most obvious way to do it but that’s not the best way to do it
so what’s the second option and that’s why I said it’s like a fail-proof
How to Backup WhatsApp chat on iPhone (2nd Way)
