Solution 1: Backup and Restore WhatsApp Messages via iCloud backup Solution 2: Backup WhatsApp Messages to Computer via SynciOS Data Recovery Solution 3: Email WhatsApp conversations

Solution 1: Backup and Restore WhatsApp Messages via iCloud backup You can save your WhatsApp conversations and media to your iCloud storage using iCloud backup. You can use this backup method in case you wish to transfer WhatsApp conversions to another iOS device or restore your device to factory setting. The iCloud backup process may take a while to complete, depending on your Internet connection and backup file size. You can make a manual backup of your chats at any time by taking a trip into WhatsApp Settings > Chat Settings > Chat Backup and tapping Back Up Now.

This will show you the Backup size currently stored in your iCloud account, displaying the backup details, including Messages quantities, Photos quantities. You can also enable automatic, scheduled backups by tapping Auto Backup and then choosing your backup frequency. You can set up how often to automatically backup WhatsApp chats by tapping "Auto Backup" from the same screen.

NOTE: Video clips are excluded from iCloud backup, in order to free up space in the backup. (For the typical user, a single iPhone or iPad backup should fit easily into the free 5GB iCloud allocation. )

Restore WhatsApp messages via iCloud If you previously backed up WhatsApp chats via the iCloud option above, you are able to restore the messages back to the iPhone. To do so:

1. Once you install WhatsApp anew, enter your phone number and tap "Done" 2. From the next screen, tap "Restore chat history" NOTE: the above option will only appear if you previously backed up the WhatsApp chats via iCloud. Otherwise the button will be greyed out. WhatsApp backup is not 100% reliable. In at least one occasion we were returned the following screen despite having previously backed up WhatsApp messages.

3. Stand-by until the WhatsApp messages are restored back to the iPhone. The WhatsApp chat history is now restored to your iPhone.

Solution 3: Email WhatsApp conversations Sending WhatsApp messages via email is easy but not ideal as this will only generate a TXT file containing plain conversation text which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include images or other

attachments. You can, however, send conversation images via email as individual attachments separate from the TXT file. To send WhatsApp conversations via email: 1. Open WhatsApp and navigate to the conversation or group you wish to email in the chat list. Swiping right on the conversations, tap “more”, then choose Email conversation, Choose whether to attach media or not (i.e. attached photos or videos) An email will be sent containing the chat history saved into an attached TXT document. If you chose to include media, all the most recent photos/videos from the conversation(s) will also be included as individual attachments. You are only able to send WhatsApp chats via email but not restore them back to the iPhone using this method.
