WhatsApp 2.12.45 Adds The Option To Back Up And Restore From Google Drive

WhatsApp 2.12.45 Adds The Option To Back Up And Restore From Google Drive
I know it seems that we have a new WhatsApp post every couple of days on Android Police lately, but it ainât our fault. The appâs developers, specifically the Android team, appear to be drinking the good kind of kool-aid and kicking one new version after the other with not only bug fixes, but also lots of new goodies. So first there was the Web âclientâ, then the saga of the voice calling feature rollout, followed by the Material design update, and now Google Drive is being implemented as a backup option inside the app.
It was only a few weeks ago that we received translation strings that hinted at WhatsAppâs potential plan to enable backing up and restoring your conversation history and media to Google Drive. But the function just went live in the appâs most recent version 2.12.45 which can be found on APK Mirror â the official WhatsApp Android download page still lists 2.12.44 at the time the article is being written.
Once you install the update, head into the appâs Settings, Chat settings, Chat Backup, and youâll see a new screen that shows your last backup time and a list of greyed out Google Drive settings. Change the frequency from off to daily (or weekly or monthly), and youâll be able to pick up a Google account for the backup as well as choose whether you want it to use Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi and cellular networks.
Youâll then have to wait for 4:00 am when WhatsApp usually does its daily backup for the magic to happen. If youâre impatient, you can initiate it by tapping the top Back up now option, which first does a local backup then starts sending the data to Google Drive. However, you should be aware that thereâs no stopping the backup once it starts and the size is quite large if you have received and sent a lot of media through the app. Even though I had the app set to only use Wi-Fi, I tried turning Wi-Fi off, but the backup had already initiated and it kept chugging along using my data connection. Iâm not sure if itâs a bug only on my phone or if itâs a widespread one, so proceed with caution.
For now, my personal backup hasnât finished uploading so I donât know what data is exactly sent during the process. Comparing the size of the backup to my local WhatsApp folders, Iâm certain it doesnât just contain the conversation history and Iâm pretty confident that all images are included but videos arenât (just like the translation strings hinted at). Iâm also not sure if the data will be visible inside Google Drive or kept hidden and only accessible when the app initiates a restore. Weâll update the post when we have more information.
More information
To answer some of our (and your) questions regarding the backups:
Backups are incremental, which means that WhatsApp will upload everything once, then only the changes daily/weekly/monthly.Backed up data is hidden inside Google Drive. Open your Drive on the web, go to Settings, Manage Apps and youâll see WhatsApp listed as having hidden data.Videos arenât backed up, only conversations and photos.When you install WhatsApp again (on a new or the same phone), after you log in with your phone number, the app will check to see if thereâs a Google Drive backup (it will still check for local backups too) associated with your account and offer you one shot to restore your entire data from the cloud.
