WhatsApp chat history
WhatsApp chat history can be backed up and restored using Google Drive (Android) or iCloud (iPhone) to prevent data loss when switching devices or reinstalling. Regularly backing up in Settings > Chats > Chat backup ensures messages are saved. To restore, uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp, then verify your number to trigger the backup restore prompt.
Common Hacking Methods and Prevention
Social Engineering/Phishing: Attackers may trick you into providing your six-digit verification code, often by sending a message claiming urgency or a mistake
Prevention: Never share your verification code with anyone
Compromised Cloud Backups: WhatsApp chats can be backed up to iCloud or Google Drive. By default, these backups may not be end-to-end encrypted. If a hacker gains access to your cloud account, they could potentially download and read your messages.
Methods to Check or Retrieve Chat History:
- View within App: Open any individual or group chat and scroll up to see previous messages.
- Search by Date: Inside a chat, tap the contact/group name, select the search icon, then tap the calendar icon to select a specific date to jump to.
- Export Chat: Go to Settings > Chats > Chat History > Export chat. Select a chat, choose to include media or not, and send it to yourself via email or save it.
- Restore from Backup (Android/iOS): If messages were deleted, uninstall WhatsApp, reinstall it, and choose to Restore your chat history when prompted during setup, provided a backup was made prior to the deletion.
- Request Account Info: Go to Settings > Account > Request account info to generate a report of your profile settings and contacts, which can take a few days.
