How to Backup WeChat Chat History

Popular messaging services like Whatsapp, Telegram, and others compete with Wechat. Wechat and its chat history can be readily backed up using the built-in settings or with the use of third-party applications, much like other apps. It will make it easier for users to move their media files and chat messages to a new device. But within the software, there isn’t a simple way to backup the WeChat history. A desktop version or third-party programme is required.

How to Backup WeChat History Using a PC

1. On your Windows computer, open a browser and go to the WeChat official website. Install the desktop version of WeChat on your computer after downloading it.
2. Once the programme has been installed and launched, a QR code will appear on the screen. To access your account on the PC, scan the code on the WeChat app for mobile devices.
3. Select the Hamburger symbol in the bottom left corner of the screen after logging in, then pick the Backup and restore option.
4. Upon selecting the choice, a pop-up will show up. Choose the Back up on PC option there.
5. The backup procedure can then be started by choosing a single chat or by clicking Backup all.
