As a WhatsApp user on iPhone, how do you backup your WhatsApp data? Fortunately, the WhatsApp app offers a built-in feature to back up WhatsApp data to iCloud (WhatsApp Settings -> Chats -> Chat Backup -> Backup Now). How to use the iCloud WhatsApp backup? We need to uninstall and delete WhatsApp application, and then we can restore the iCloud WhatsApp data.
And then we need to face a problem, if you uninstall and delete WhatsApp app and restore iCloud WhatsApp data, we will lose new WhatsApp data that is not currently backed up to iCloud. If we backup the current new WhatsApp data to iCloud, it will overwrite the old iCloud WhatsApp data. How should we choose? So is there any way to download and restore iCloud WhatsApp data without deleting WhatsApp?
iCloud WhatsApp data belongs to third-party application data in iCloud, different from the built-in iOS application contacts, photos, notes can be downloaded directly from the www.icloud.com website page. In order to solve the above problem, we provide two different solutions, one is to download all current WhatsApp data including unbacked WhatsApp data from iPhone, and the other is to download iCloud WhatsApp backup data from iCloud server.
What we need to prepare:
a. A Mac or PC computer which has installed the iTunes application.
b. Download and install WhatsApp Pocket application on the computer.
