How to Get Backup on GBWhatsApp
If you’re using GBWhatsApp, a popular modified version of WhatsApp, backing up your chats is crucial to prevent data loss when switching devices or reinstalling the app. While GBWhatsApp doesn’t support direct Google Drive backups like the official WhatsApp, you can still safely back up your data using alternative methods. This article will walk you through multiple ways to back up and restore GBWhatsApp data effectively.

Why Backup is Important for GBWhatsApp Users
Backing up your chats ensures that you won’t lose important messages, media, and contacts if you uninstall the app or switch to a new device. Since GBWhatsApp offers more customization and features, losing your settings and chat history can be frustrating. That’s why creating a local backup regularly is essential for all GBWhatsApp users.
Method 1: Manual Local Backup via GBWhatsApp Settings
GBWhatsApp provides a built-in local backup feature similar to the official WhatsApp. Here’s how you can use it:
- Open GBWhatsApp on your device.
- Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
- Go to “Settings” > “Chats” > “Chat Backup.”
- Tap on “Backup” to create a local backup on your device.
This will store your chats and media on your phone’s internal storage under the GBWhatsApp folder. Remember, this backup does not sync with Google Drive.
Method 2: Use a File Manager to Manually Copy Backup Files
If you’re switching phones or planning a factory reset, you can manually transfer your GBWhatsApp backup files. Follow these steps:
- Use a file manager app to locate your GBWhatsApp folder (usually found in
/GBWhatsApp/
or/WhatsApp/
). - Inside this folder, you’ll find the Databases and Media directories.
- Copy the entire folder to your computer, cloud storage, or a USB drive.
- When restoring, paste the folder back into the same location on your new device before installing GBWhatsApp.
Method 3: Use a Third-Party Backup App
Some users prefer third-party tools like Titanium Backup (for rooted devices) or Helium Backup (for non-rooted devices) to create a full app backup, including chat history and app settings.
⚠️ Note: Use third-party tools at your own risk and ensure they are downloaded from trusted sources.
How to Restore a Backup on GBWhatsApp
Once you’ve created a backup, here’s how you can restore it when reinstalling GBWhatsApp or switching phones:
- Install GBWhatsApp but don’t open it immediately.
- Move the backup folder to the correct directory on your new phone if you haven’t already.
- Open GBWhatsApp and verify your number.
- GBWhatsApp will detect the backup and prompt you to restore it.
- Tap “Restore” and wait for the process to complete.
Tips for Successful Backup and Restore
- Always double-check the backup folder location before reinstalling or switching phones.
- Do not change the name of the backup folders or files.
- If your chats don’t restore, ensure you’re using the same phone number as before.
- Make backups frequently, especially before app updates or system resets.
Final Thoughts
While GBWhatsApp doesn’t support cloud-based backup via Google Drive, its local backup system still allows users to protect their chat data effectively. By using built-in features or manual file transfers, you can maintain control over your conversations and avoid data loss. With just a few simple steps, you can back up and restore GBWhatsApp chats like a pro.
