How to Backup Chat Messages in WhatsApp

WhatsApp is no doubt one of the fastest growing means of keeping up with friends and other contacts from your mobile phone. It’s like BlackBerry Messenger on Android and iPhone – and we love it!

Now just imagine, you have had an important chat with a friend around evening and later that night, you plan to do a full reset on your phone. Well, you will lose that chat you had in the evening with your friend.

WhatsApp creates a backup automatically of your conversations everyday at 4am, but in case you want to back up your conversations at some other time, you can do it manually.
