Simply put, there’s no built-in way to back up your chats to Google Drive directly from GB WhatsApp. However, it’s possible to do that using a third-party method.

Keep reading the next section to find out how.

1. How to Create a GB WhatsApp Backup

Let’s talk about a few ways to make a GBWhatsApp backup first.

• Method 1: Back Up GB WhatsApp via GB WhatsApp Internal Settings
• Method 2: How to Back Up GB WhatsApp to Computer

Method 1: Back Up GB WhatsApp via GB WhatsApp Internal Settings

Although you can’t make a GB WhatsApp chat backup directly, there’s a way you can make a local backup using your phone’s file manager.

You see, GB WhatsApp makes local backups of its chats on a regular basis and stores them in internal storage. You can back up your chats to your device’s internal storage and you can find and use them later in File Manager.

Here’s how to do that.

• Open GBWhtatsApp and tap on the three dots icon.

• Then choose “Settings”.

  
• Go to “Chats” and select “Chat backup”.

• Now the program is backing up your GBWhatsApp chats to your device’s internal storage.

  
• When the backup is completed, you can go to the internal storage and find the GBWhatsApp backup database folder.

Method 2: How to Back Up GB WhatsApp to Computer

The best way to backup GBWhatsApp isn’t through the method mentioned above. Instead, it’s through Tenorshare iCareFone Transfer.

Unlike the previous method, you don’t have to rely on automatically-generated files for the job. Instead, you can make your own backups whenever you want.

iCareFone Transfer is a welcomed WhatsApp/GBWhatsApp data transfer, backup, and restore tool. It doesn’t require a factory reset and thus none of your device data will be erased.

Here’s how to do it:

• Download and install Tenorshare iCareFone Transfer on your computer. Select GB WhatsApp, then hit Backup on the left menu.

  

• Connet your device to the computer and click on "Back Up Now".

  

• When the backup is done, verify your phone number by following the instructions.

  

• Hold on while the backup is generated and stored on your computer — and you’re good to go.

  

Method 3: Back Up GB WhatsApp to Google Drive

The last answer to “How to backup GB WhatsApp chats?” is Google Drive.

Yes, we know you can’t back up your chats and media to Google Drive directly from the app, but you can do it with a workaround.

Here’s how:

• Open Google Drive.

• Select upload a new folder.

  

• When asked to select a folder, pick the Databases folder inside the GB WhatsApp folder in your Internal Storage.

  
• Wait for the upload to complete.
• When you want to restore, you can download the Databases folder and put it back in your GB WhatsApp folder in Internal Storage.
