Backup issue before switching from whatsapp

[johnsuomi]

Hei everyone,

I will delete my whatsapp in some days but before that I want to secure my backup. There are lots of apps that support ios whatsapp backup on pc, but I couldn't find any that supports android backups.

Can someone please suggest how to use my backup on pc, meaning reading my chats preferably in a user friendly mode with media files?

Also, once I delete my whatsapp account both from my phone and google drive, will I be able to decrypt my backup on my pc?

Many Thanks in advance.

The WhatsApp official way is to use Google Drive https://faq.whatsapp.com/android/chats/how-to-save-your-chat-history/?lang=en

You maybe able to use a computer, depending on the make of phone you've got, e.g. Smart Swtich for Samsung devices, HiSuite for Huawei devices, Mi PC Suite for Xiaomi phones, etc.
