The WhatsApp messaging application has changed the way we communicate with one another. Thanks to WhatsApp, it became possible to SMS anyone in the world at no cost anytime, anywhere. WhatsApp was founded in 2009 by Brian Acton and Jan Koum. Before its acquisition by Facebook, WhatsApp had a user base of 450 million active users in December 2016, making it the most globally popular messenger app.

The app is used for communications between friends or family members but has been increasingly used for business purposes, including marketing, customer service, and even for distributing news content. In 2014 WhatsApp joined Facebook Messenger as a cross-platform messaging platform.

One of WhatsApp’s most incredible features is the ability to backup and archive all conversations and then restore them later. In today’s guide, we’ll show you how to backup your WhatsApp and the ideal ways to do it. 

Why is WhatsApp backup important?

WhatsApp backups are a safety net and store all your conversations and messages. If you ever lose your smartphone or it stops working, the backup will enable you to retrieve all the content, even if it’s no longer possible on the device.

WhatsApp doesn’t just have to be for text messaging. You can use it to store multimedia content, like photos, videos, and voice messages. That way, you always have a copy of your older conversations and can keep them indefinitely.

What types of WhatsApp backups are currently available?

There are many different ways to back up WhatsApp chats, but some are more efficient than others. For example, some work better on iOS while others on Android.

Manual backup

WhatsApp backups can require a lot of time and effort. One option is to manually backup messages, but this may not be enough protection against the many risks of data loss.

Automatic backup

The other option is an automatic backup stored in the phone’s built-in memory. This allows you to avoid third-party services and provides a fast & easy way to follow through with the backup.

WhatsApp is now updating its app with the ability to back up your data to the cloud. You can also decide when you want automatic backups to happen–daily, weekly, or monthly. This gives you more control over your data and ensures that it’s properly backed up.

Advantages Vs. Disadvantages of Whatsapp cloud

Using WhatsApp, you can backup your messages and multimedia content to the cloud using WhatsApp. This is as easy as using WhatsApp itself and is an excellent alternative for those struggling with low storage space on their handheld device. You can also restore your messages with your phone number on your new phone. Just go into the login screen and select “restore,” then put in your phone number.

But it’s not all butterflies and rainbows. WhatsApp cloud backups bring some challenges, such as the lack of a single service for archiving your work. In addition, WhatsApp does not have any cloud backup options, but you can save your photos, videos, and messages to other providers like Google Drive or iCloud.

No problems will occur if you use the same operating system on your new smartphone. However, if you switch to a platform that isn’t compatible with your old phone (e.g., if you switched from Android to iOS), the first difficulties may arise.

How to backup WhatsApp on Android?

The backup feature in WhatsApp for iOS is very efficient – you can use it even if you’re not aware of its existence. It will only take a few minutes to take a complete backup and then restore it without needing any additional passwords or codes. Ensure that you have a Google account available if you want to continue with the cloud backup. The storage space will be linked to your email ID.

How to backup WhatsApp on iOS?

WhatsApp is also easy to back up on iOS in the same way as Android. Although the app looks different, they’re functionally the same. To backup messages on your iPhone, you will need to follow a slightly different route. Don’t worry; we’re here to walk you through the process.

To get started, create an iCloud account. You should have already done this when you bought your iPhone, or otherwise, you’ll need to head over to the official iCloud page and click at the bottom of the word “Create.” Next, enter your WhatsApp details and press ‘continue.’ This will allow you to backup WhatsApp to your iCloud space.

How to transfer photos from Android phone to iPhone? https://iphone-geeks.com/how-to-transfer-photos-from-android-phone-to-iphone/ Tue, 13 Oct 2020 10:09:15 +0000 https://iphone-geeks.com/?p=530 Maybe you’re making a complete switch to Apple products or just purchased an iPhone.

Maybe you’re making a complete switch to Apple products or just purchased an iPhone. Either way, you probably have quite a few pictures you’d like to keep. Is there any simple way to just move photos from one device to the other?

Unfortunately, there’s no one-step solution. The smartphone industry is competitive, and neither brand wants to make it too easy for you to switch! Even so, we’ve put together walkthroughs for 3 simple ways to transfer pictures from your Android phone to your iPhone.

Google Photos and the Cloud

The Cloud refers to storage space that exists outside of your device and can be accessed with Wi-Fi. This first option is ideal if you’re transferring a smaller group of photos – a few hundred or less, ideally. Larger batches can be completed with this process, but it may take an hour or more. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Download the Google Photos app on your Android phone from the Play Store and sign in with your Google account information.
  2. When you’ve sign ined, locate three horizontal lines at the top of the app. This will bring you to the user menu.
  3. Locate the settings on the menu.
  4. On the setting panel, click Back Up & Sync, and turn it on. Your photos will automatically upload to the Google Photo’s cloud storage.
  5. Download the Google Photos app on your iPhone from the App Store and sign in with your Google account information.
  6. Like before, locate the menu, visit the settings panel, and turn on Back Up & Sync. This will download your photos onto the iPhone automatically.

Mobile Transfer Apps for Your Phone

Perhaps you’re not a fan of Google Photos or you don’t have the necessary space to transfer all your pictures. Whatever the reason, you can always use a mobile transfer app instead. As an added perk, these apps can be faster than using the Cloud! Keep reading for step-by-step instructions.

AnyTrans

  1. Download the AnyTrans app on both the Android phone and iPhone.
  2. Open AnyTrans on your Android phone first and click the Explore tab.
  3. Tap the QR code symbol in the top right corner to receive a one-time QR code.
  4. Open AnyTrans on your iPhone and click the Scan button.
  5. Use your iPhone to scan the QR code on your Android phone.

Once you scan the code, your Android phone will display on the pictures on the device. Select all or select photos individually. When you’re ready, simply tap “Send to iPhone” to complete the transfer.

FileMaster

  1. Download the FileMaster app onto your iPhone from the App Store.
  2. Launch FileMaster and tap More.
  3. Click on Wi-Fi Transfer and turn the Wi-Fi- on within the app.
  4. FileMaster will provide you a unique URL
  5. Using your Android phone, open up your mobile browser and visit the URL provided on your iPhone.

After you navigate to that secure web address, you’ll have full access to your iPhone data. You can select and transfer any folders of data, including photos.

Transfer Apps for Your Computer

What if you’re worried about a secure connection or have thousands of pictures to transfer? If you’d rather handle things the old-fashioned way, you can transfer data with your computer!

MobileTrans

  1. Visit MobileTrans.WonderShare.com to download and install the app on your Mac or PC.
  2. Connect the Android phone and iPhone to your computer via USB.
  3. Open the MobileTrans app and select Phone Transfer from the main menu.
  4. Select the Android phone as the source and the iPhone as the destination.
  5. Select photos and confirm the transfer.

This is the best choice if you have thousands of photos. Because your computer acts as the middleman, it takes less than a minute – or even a matter of seconds – to complete transfers.
