How to Back Up and Restore GB WhatsApp Chats
Learn practical steps for backing up and restoring GB WhatsApp chats before updates, reinstallations or device changes.

Backups are especially important when using a modified messaging app because updates and package changes can behave differently from the official application.
Create a backup
- Open the app's chat settings.
- Use the available local backup option.
- Wait for the backup to finish.
- Copy important backup folders to a safe location if possible.
Before updating or reinstalling
Do not assume a backup will survive uninstalling. Keep a separate copy outside the app's working folder whenever possible.
Restore chats
Install a compatible build, place the backup where that build expects it, then follow the restore prompt during setup. Folder names and restore behavior can vary by version.
Because modified builds differ, test backup and restore with non-critical data before relying on it for important conversations.
