Set Up Android to Automatically Backup WhatsApp Messages and Photos

I cannot read your mind: maybe you like to use WhatsApp thanks to the fact that it requires less bandwidth and much simpler configuration mobile devices to function properly, as compared to Facebook messenger. Maybe it’s just a convenient way to keep in touch with friends, without paying a dime or you rest assured that WhatsApp encrypts your messages making it more secure and private. Or maybe you don’t go that far, but you simply love those emojis which turned into a huge success on WhatsApp.

In any case, I am sure that you have some pretty important messages and photos in there, and it’d be a shame if it all suddenly disappeared. Things like that still happen, you know. That’s why it’s a great idea to back up your precious data and I know exactly how you should do it.
