FAQs
Where is WhatsApp backup stored?
WhatsApp saves your chat backup in two places:
Google Drive – If you have enabled backup, your chats are saved in your Google account online.
Phone Storage – A copy is also saved daily on your phone in the WhatsApp folder.
Can GB WhatsApp recover old messages?
GB WhatsApp can recover old messages only if you have a backup saved.
If you backed up your chats earlier (locally or manually), you can restore them during setup. Without any backup, old messages cannot be recovered.
