Hi,

I would like to create a new iCloud account but I want to keep my WhatsApp chat history at all cost.
I am currently using my little brother's iCloud account.
The reason why I'm using his account is because he said it's better so that we can share same apps.

I noticed that the chat history can't be backed up as it needs iCloud but the iCloud is full and my brother doesn't even remember the login or password so he can't even login to make space.

For the past 4-5 months, I've lost my chat history 3x already.
Today it happened again for no apparent reason.
Asked me to make 250mb space which I did but it only recovered up until end of April.
I've had close to 500 conversations in that time until now.

Why my chat history is so important is that I have thousands of clients that I interact with and in May alone, WhatsApp history is essential for my work. I don't have time to manually note down on paper or write it out on the laptop anymore since last year. So I really hope my WhatsApp will stop f*cking up.

Now, is it possible for me to create a new account so that I get my own iCloud account with a lot of storage for me to back up my WhatsApp chat history.

Hi. Thank you for the input.

So I won't lose my WhatsApp chat history if I create a new account?

technically it will auto backup when your phone is plugged in and screen is off

providing you have keyed in your apple id in settings > icloud

and turn on backup

Hi. But how about iTunes? I heard that the iTunes on the laptop can only be used for 1 iPhone.
At the moment, my brother is using the iTunes and it is his iCloud account that I am sharing.
