How to turn off backup in WhatsApp on iPhone - in detail?

To disable backups in WhatsApp on your iPhone, you need to adjust the settings both within the WhatsApp application and on your device itself. Here's a detailed guide on how to do this:

1. Open WhatsApp Settings:

   • Launch the WhatsApp application on your iPhone.
   • Tap on "Settings" in the bottom-right corner of the screen. This will open the WhatsApp settings menu.

2. Disable Chat Backup:

   • In the settings menu, tap on "Chats."
   • Next, select "Chat Backup."
   • Here, you can disable automatic backups by tapping on "Auto Backup" and selecting "Off." This will prevent WhatsApp from automatically backing up your chats to iCloud.

3. Adjust iCloud Settings:

   • To ensure that no backup data is being saved to iCloud, go to the iPhone's main settings by tapping on the gear icon (Settings app).
   • Scroll down and tap on "WhatsApp."
   • Under the WhatsApp settings, you will find an option for "iCloud Drive" or similar. Make sure this is turned off.

4. Manage iCloud Storage:

   • If you want to completely ensure that no backup data from WhatsApp is saved in your iCloud storage, go back to the main Settings app.
   • Tap on your name at the top (your Apple ID settings).
   • Select "iCloud" and then "Manage Storage."
   • Look for WhatsApp in the list of apps using iCloud. If it appears, you can delete the backup data by tapping on WhatsApp and selecting "Delete Data."

By following these steps, you effectively disable backups within WhatsApp on your iPhone. This ensures that no chat history or media is saved to either iCloud or locally on your device.
