How to Read WhatsApp Backup from Google Drive on PC

Sponsored

On Android devices, WhatsApp creates an automatic backup to Google Drive. If you have backup enabled, your backup is created on its own at a certain time of day. This backup is a lifesaver because it can help you recover your lost or deleted images, videos, chats and files, but it has some issues.

You cannot read chats or view photos from WhatsApp backup created on Google Drive. Even if you manage to find the backup file, you will not be able to read or view the backup because it is encrypted. The only way to see or access the data is to restore the backup to your WhatsApp.

However, it is still possible to read messages and view other WhatsApp data from the backup without restoring them. This can only be done using a third-party tool, such as RecoverGo (WhatsApp).
