Where is WhatsApp saved on Huawei - in detail?

On a Huawei device, WhatsApp media files such as images, videos, and documents are stored in the internal storage by default. The specific location within the internal storage varies depending on the version of Android OS running on your Huawei device.

For devices with Android 8 (Oreo) or later, including those running EMUI, WhatsApp media files are typically saved in the following directory:

/storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp/Media/

This directory contains subfolders for different types of media, such as:

  • WhatsApp Images for photos and images.
  • WhatsApp Video for videos.
  • WhatsApp Documents for documents like PDFs, spreadsheets, and presentations.
  • WhatsApp Animated Gifs for GIF files.

To access these directories, you can use a file manager app on your Huawei device or connect it to a computer via USB. Keep in mind that the exact path might be different if you have modified your device's storage structure or if you are using a custom ROM.

Additionally, WhatsApp chat backups are saved separately from media files. These backups can be found in the following directory:

/storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp/Databases/

The backup files have a .db.crypt12 extension and contain your chat history, contacts, and other data. WhatsApp also offers an option to back up your chats to Google Drive, which can be accessed from the app's settings menu.
