How to upload WhatsApp data from Google - in detail?

To upload your WhatsApp data from Google, you'll need to follow a series of detailed steps. This process involves exporting your chat history from WhatsApp and then importing it into the app on another device using Google Drive as an intermediary storage solution. Here’s how you can do this:

1. Export Chat History from WhatsApp:

   • Open WhatsApp on your current device (where you have all your data).
   • Go to the settings by tapping on the three dots or the profile icon in the top right corner, depending on your device.
   • Navigate to Chats > Chat Backup. This is where you can back up your chats to Google Drive.
   • Tap on Back Up and select the Google account you want to use for backup. Make sure you have a stable internet connection during this process.
   • You will be prompted to choose the frequency of the backup (daily, weekly, monthly). Select your preference and tap on Back Up. This will start the backup process.

2. Verify Backup in Google Drive:

   • Once the backup is complete, you can verify it by going to the Google Drive app or visiting drive.google.com on your computer.
   • In Google Drive, go to the left sidebar and click on Computers. You should see a folder named WhatsApp containing your backup files. The date and time of the last backup will be indicated in the file name.

3. Install WhatsApp on the New Device:

   • On your new device, download and install WhatsApp from the Google Play Store or App Store.
   • Open WhatsApp and follow the initial setup steps until you reach the screen where it asks to restore chat history.

4. Restore Chat History from Google Drive:

   • When prompted, tap on Agree and Continue to accept WhatsApp’s terms and conditions.
   • Enter your phone number and verify it with the code sent via SMS.
   • After verifying your number, you will be asked if you want to restore your chat history from a Google Drive backup. Tap on Restore.
   • Select the Google account that was used for backing up the data on your previous device.
   • WhatsApp will then scan for backups in Google Drive and list them. Choose the most recent backup (based on the date and time) and tap on Next.
   • The restoration process will begin, downloading all your chat history, media, and settings from Google Drive to your new device. This may take some time depending on the size of your backup and the speed of your internet connection.

5. Complete the Setup:

   • Once the restoration is complete, tap on Next to proceed with setting up WhatsApp on your new device.
   • You will be asked if you want to restore your media as well. Tap on Restore to download all the photos, videos, and other media files associated with your chats. This step is optional but recommended for a complete transfer of data.

By following these steps, you can successfully upload your WhatsApp data from Google Drive and have it restored on your new device, ensuring that you do not lose any important conversations or media files.
