72 views
WhatsApp Web itself does not store backups of your chats. Instead, chat backups are linked to the same location as your mobile app's backup. For Android users, backups are stored in Google Drive, and for iPhone users, in iCloud. Ensure your mobile device is synced to these services to safeguard your chats. When accessing WhatsApp Web, it merely mirrors the chats from your mobile device, without storing them independently.
