WhatsApp: How to back up chats to Google Drive

Step 1: Go to the settings area of WhatsApp on your Android smartphone.

Step 2: Go to Chats > Chat backup > Google Drive backup.

Step 3: Change the backup frequency from Never to something else. Alternatively, you may choose to back up your chats to Google Drive manually at any time.

Step 4: After you’ve chosen a backup frequency, choose the Google account to which you’d like to save your chat history. If you don’t already have a Google account, tap Add account and provide your login details when requested.

Step 5: Select the network you wish to use for backups by tapping on Back up over. It is preferable to backup using Wi-Fi rather than a cellular data network because cellular data networks may incur additional charges.
