Making backups of all of your information is always a good idea because you never know when something might happen and you lose all your data. This also applies to WhatsApp chats, and if you do not backup them, you may lose important information.

Based on the settings that have been made, the order to back up for WhatsApp can be daily, weekly, monthly, never, or just when you hit the Backup option. Normally, this backup will be stored on Google Drive, but we’ll show you how to put it on Dropbox.
