How to make a backup of WhatsApp on your computer
Table of contents:
Having WhatsApp chats safe can be a great advantage if, at any time, for whatever reason, we need some type of information extracted from them. In this tutorial we are going to teach you, first, to create a backup copy of all your chats to later save it on your personal computer. For this you will only need your mobile phone, your personal computer and a USB cable to transmit the data from the mobile to the computer. They are very simple steps and do not pose any danger to your mobile or PC.
How to create a WhatsApp backup on your mobile
The first thing we have to do is open our WhatsApp application and, in the three-point menu that we find at the top of the screen, we find 'Settings'.
Within 'Settings' we are going to go to the 'Chats' section and, within this, 'Backup copy' .
On the 'Backup' screen we are going to press the green button of 'Save'. It will automatically begin to create the backup and then upload it to your Google Drive account. From your computer you can also download the copy from your Drive account, but you may not have one, so we are going to teach you how to save it using a USB cable.
How to save WhatsApp backup on your computer
Take your mobile and plug it into your personal computer via the USB cable with which you usually charge it. At that time, a notification will sound on your mobile, notifying you that the mobile is charging via USB. But we do not want to charge it, but rather transfer data, so we are going to lower the notification curtain, click on 'Charging this device via USB' and, then 'transfer files'.
In the 'This computer' section of Windows 10 on your PC, you should see the folder corresponding to your terminal. Enter it and look for the WhatsApp folder. With the mouse, click on it with the right button and then click on 'Copy'.
Then, on your PC's desktop, press 'Paste'. You will have the backup on your computer by the time the you need.
