iOS Whatsapp Backup: How to backup WhatsApp chats, photos and videos on iOS 

WhatsApp is a primary mode of communication for many users. Not only messages, but users share photos and videos via WhatsApp. Imagine a situation when you are switching to a new smartphone or changing the number linked to your WhatsApp account, and accidentally lose your WhatsApp chats. Regularly backing up WhatsApp can help you avoid facing such incidents.

Apple iPhone users can save their WhatsApp chats, photos and videos on iCloud. Here we give you a step-by-step guide on how to backup WhatsApp chats on iOS. Before proceeding, users must meet some prerequisites that include

• You must be signed in with the Apple ID you use to access iCloud.
• You must have iOS 10 or newer and iCloud Drive must be turned on.
• There must be enough free space on both your iCloud and iPhone. You need to have at least 2.05 times the space available in your iCloud account and on your phone than the actual size of your backup.

A WhatsApp FAQ page states that WhatsApp chat histories aren't stored on its server. Also, deleted messages can not be retrieved back and thus will not be part of the backup.

Here are the steps

1.

Open WhatsApp on your iPhone

2.

Go to Settings at the bottom right corner of your screen and click on Chats

3.

Here, click on Chat Backup

4.

Tap on Back Up Now.
