Where is the WhatsApp backup located on Honor - in detail?

On Huawei/Honor devices, WhatsApp backups are typically stored in a specific location within the device's internal storage. Here's a detailed guide on where you can find your WhatsApp backup:

1. Backup Location: WhatsApp backups on Honor devices are usually located in the WhatsApp folder within the device's internal storage. The full path is typically /sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases.

2. Accessing Backup Files: To access these backup files, you can use a file manager app that has root permissions if your device is rooted. If not, you may need to use a computer with Android File Transfer (for macOS) or a similar tool for Windows. Here's how:

   • Connect your Honor device to your computer using a USB cable.
   • Open the file manager on your computer and navigate to the WhatsApp/Databases folder.
   • You will see files named msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt12 (where YYYY-MM-DD represents the date of the backup). These are your WhatsApp chat backups.

3. Backup Frequency: WhatsApp automatically backs up your chats daily at 2:00 AM local time, provided that your device is connected to the internet and has enough battery life. You can also manually create a backup by going to WhatsApp > Settings > Chats > Chat Backup.

4. Restoring Backups: If you need to restore a WhatsApp backup, you can do so during the initial setup of WhatsApp or from the app settings. The app will scan for backups in the specified location and allow you to restore your chat history.
