Hi all, I am using Google Nexus 4 and need help in backup all my Whatsapp chat history.
Currently my phone is dead, it can only switch on when it is charging. But if connect to PC, it is unable to switch on.
Is there anyway i can backup my Whatsapp chat history?

I tried Google Drive but there is no any backup file in my Google Drive. in current condition i cant copy out backup file from my phone to PC.

If you've already done the backup to Google drive via the Whatsapp application, then you don't need to worry. Just reinstall your whatsapp and login using your phone number+ pin code and it should automatically prompt you to restore your messages, etc.

switch on while charging. then go to ur whatsapp backup, backup to ur google drive. make sure ur phone on after all backups have transffered to ur drive.

then on ur new phone, login to ur drive then only install whatsapp. verify ur whatsapp number and as long same number as ur backup, will auto restore from ur google drive.

If you checked g drive and there's no back up file for whatsapp, then you need to copy manually. That means you need to somehow revive your dead phone.

Means i cant view the file in Google Drive? but i am able to restore in new phone?


I have no idea on how to revive it.

To check your backup:

- login to https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive
- in settings, top-right, click Manage Apps, and you should see the WhatsApp Messenger

If you see that, you can restore.

yes... i can see it! Ok. thanks !

So I read again your scenario.

What you can do is, plug in a charger, turn your phone on and go to file manager. Select your whatsapp folder and find the backup database and share it to g drive or somewhere cloud storage.

Find another phone and try downloading the backup file and reinstall whatsapp. Hope that can work for you

Ok. i will try it. thanks for your suggestion

Did the suggestion solve?
