How to upload WhatsApp chats - in detail?

To upload WhatsApp chats, follow these detailed steps:

1. Export Chats from WhatsApp:

   • Open WhatsApp on your device.
   • Navigate to the chat you wish to export. You can export individual chats or group chats.
   • Tap on the three dots (⋮) located at the top-right corner of the screen for Android devices, or the bottom-left corner for iOS devices.
   • Select "More" and then tap on "Export chat".

2. Choose the Export Method:

   • You will be prompted to choose whether you want to export with media or without media. If you select "Without Media", only the text of your messages will be included in the export. If you select "Include Media", all photos, videos, and other attachments will also be included.

3. Select the Destination:

   • After choosing the export method, you need to select where you want to send the chat. Common options include email, Google Drive, or any cloud storage service that is configured on your device.
   • For example, if you choose "Email", WhatsApp will create an email with the exported chat as an attachment. You can then send this email to yourself or someone else.
   • If you select a cloud storage service like Google Drive, the chat will be uploaded directly to your account on that service.

4. Uploading to Cloud Storage:

   • If you choose Google Drive (or another cloud service), a new window will open asking for permissions to access your Google Drive. Grant these permissions.
   • You will then need to select the folder where you want to save the exported chat. This can be an existing folder or you can create a new one specifically for your WhatsApp chats.
   • After selecting the folder, tap on "Save" or "Upload". The upload process may take some time depending on the size of the chat and the speed of your internet connection.

5. Confirmation:

   • Once the upload is complete, you will receive a confirmation message from WhatsApp. This confirms that your chat has been successfully exported to the selected destination.
   • You can then access the uploaded file through your email or cloud storage service account.

By following these steps, you can easily upload and preserve your WhatsApp chats for future reference or backup purposes.
