WhatsApp is the world's most popular chat app, connecting more than a billion people. WhatsApp allows users to share messages and media files as well as talking for free without limits. It is important to back-up your WhatsApp history – and Google Drive is the best way to do so on Android smartphones.

Those planning on switching from Android to iPhone cannot take their WhatsApp messages with them.

When backing-up WhatsApp on Android phones, you do so on Google Drive.

The Android WhatsApp app uses Google Drive to back up and restore, whereas Apple's iOS app uses iCloud to do both of those.

Even if you have the iOS Google Drive app, you still cannot restore your Android WhatsApp files this way.

Apple's iOS WhatsApp will only communicate with iCloud, although there are some third-party apps you could use.

How to backup WhatsApp to Google Drive:

WhatsApp automatically backs-up and saves your messages to your phone's memory on a daily basis.

And, depending on your settings, you can also backup your chats to Google Drive.

This way your messages will be safe even if you have to delete WhatsApp from your Android phone.

Google Drive is a great way to backup all your WhatsApp messages, allowing you to switch Android phones and you'll be able to have your messages and media follow you wherever you go.

This is also extra insurance in case WhatsApp crashes and you need to uninstall and reinstall it.

Now tap Back-up over and tap the circle next to "Wi-Fi" to backup over Wi-Fi only.

Tap the circle next to Wi-Fi or cellular to backup via Wi-Fi or wireless data, bearing in mind that you could accrue data charges.

Remember, this process is not entirely foolproof and may not work every time.

You may have to uninstall WhatsApp and reinstall it a couple times for the restore to take effect.

If there are messages you really want to save, you may want to copy them to a computer or some other device to make sure you have them forever.

Also beware that continually reinstalling WhatsApp may result in a temporary ban, as your phone number will have been recognised.
