[WhatsApp] How to backup/restore chats from Jolla 1 to Jolla C without Google Drive [answered]
asked 2016-08-05 13:43:49 +0200
Before switching my primary phone to the new Jolla C, I wanted to backup my WhatsApp chats and transfer them to the new device. In WhatsApp there's an option to save the backup to Google Drive however as I don't have an account and Jolla C does not have Google Play Services, which are required for Google Drive I'm wondering if there's a way to backup via the filesystem.
When I go to Settings-Chats-Chat backup there's an button to crate a backup. It tells me that my last local backup is from today 10:07 am. Now I'm puzzled how to transfer that backup to the new phone. I don't dare to switch SIM cards as that may destroy my chat history.
Sending the chats via E-Mail from the old Jolla 1 does not work either it tells me that my mail client (k-9 mail) has stopped unexpectedly, though it is still running.
Any advise would be welcome.
don't know about Jolla C but I have the Intex aquafish which seems to have the Google Services running. Further you can just copy the WhatsApp folder from the old phone to the new phone and then install WhatsApp on the new phone, then it will detect the backup and restore the chats
