WhatsApp: How to backup pictures and videos
If you want to backup your WhatsApp photos and videos, you have to do one of the following:
- All media that you send via WhatsApp end up in the "WhatsApp / Media" folder.
- To create a backup of this, you need to connect your smartphone to the PC and copy the folder to the PC using drag & drop.
- Tip: If you have saved the media on your PC, you can delete it from your smartphone in order to free up more memory.
- However, these media are then no longer available on your phone, so they are no longer available in the chats.
- Tip: On Android, you can even create a backup of entire apps with the Helium app.
- This saves all data of the app in the backup.
