Backing up to iCloud

Before backing up your WhatsApp chat, ensure that you have enough storage space available on your iCloud account. 

Note

  • You’re using the same phone number and iCloud account that the backup was created on.
  • Your available iCloud account and iPhone storage is at least 2.05 times bigger than the size of your backup.

Ensure that iCloud Drive is turned on. To do this, go to your iPhone Settings, tap on your Apple ID at the top, select “iCloud,” and make sure that “iCloud Drive” is enabled.

If you already turned on iCloud Drive, you can follow the following steps:

  1. Open WhatsApp and go to Settings.
  2. Tap on “Chats” and then “Chat Backup“.
  3. In the Chat Backup settings, you have two options for backing up your chats:
  • Manual backup: To manually back up your chats, tap on “Back Up Now.” This will initiate an immediate backup of your WhatsApp chats to your iCloud account.
  • Automatic backup: If you want to enable automatic, scheduled backups, tap on “Auto Backup” and choose your preferred backup frequency. This will automatically back up your chats and media to your iCloud account based on the selected frequency.

Remember to regularly backup your WhatsApp chats to ensure you don’t lose any important conversations. It’s also a good idea to check the official WhatsApp Help Center for specific instructions based on your device and operating system.
