Both Google Drive and iCloud are the most popular cloud platforms for Android and iOS respectively. Whether you’re planning to factory reset your smartphone or simply keep your data safe for future use, these two platforms will allow you to back up your data to the cloud and restore it anytime you want.

With Google Drive and iCloud, you can backup almost everything, be it your contacts, music, videos, pictures, etc. You can even back up your Whatsapp data to your iCloud or Google Drive account easily. This will allow you to restore Whatsapp from Google Drive on your phone in case you end up accidentally deleting important Whatsapp chat.

Read this guide to understand how to access Whatsapp backups on Google Drive/iCloud and is it possible to transfer backup from one platform to the other.

Part 1: Can I access Whatsapp backup on iCloud?

To access Whatsapp backup on iCloud, you’ll need your iPhone and the phone number that’s registered with your Whatsapp account. In general, people would need to access their Whatsapp backup from iCloud while switching to a newer iPhone or reinstalling Whatsapp after a factory reset. In either case, simply install Whatsapp on your iPhone and follow these steps to retrieve your Whatsapp data from the iCloud backup.

Step 1 - Launch Whatsapp on your iPhone and enter the registered mobile number to initiate the process. Make sure that you have already connected the iPhone to the same iCloud account.

Step 2 - Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the registration and let Whatsapp automatically detect an iCloud backup.

Step 3 - After it finds the desired backup file, click “Restore Chat History” to recover Whatsapp data from the iCloud account.

Once the process completes, you’ll be able to see all your previous Whatsapp chats on your screen.

Part 2: Can I access Whatsapp backup on Google drive?

Like iCloud, you can access Whatsapp backup from Google Drive as well. If you have configured Google Drive to backup your Whatsapp chats to the cloud, you’ll be able to access the backup file quite easily.

However, it’s important to understand that Whatsapp Backups on Google Drive are end-to-end encrypted. This means that to retrieve your messages from the backup, you’ll have to restore Whatsapp from Google Drive using the same account on your smartphone.

But, if you simply want to check the Whatsapp Backup and not see your messages, you can also use your laptop to get the job done. Follow these steps to access Whatsapp on a PC/laptop using your Google Drive account.

Step 1 - Sign-in with your Google account credentials and open Google Drive on your browser.

Step 2 - Go to “Google Drive Settings” by tapping the “Settings” icon from the top-right corner and then select “Manage Apps”.

Step 3 - Scroll down till the end and you’ll see “Whatsapp Messenger” at the end of the list. Here you can tap the “Options” button to manage your Whatsapp backup.

It’s also worth understanding that you won’t be able to directly restore Whatsapp backup from Google Drive to iPhone. Because the Whatsapp app on iOS can only restore data from an iCloud backup.

Part 3: Can I transfer Whatsapp backup from iCloud to Google drive?

There are several situations when users would want to transfer Whatsapp backup from their iCloud to Google Drive account. This generally happens when you’re trying to switch from iPhone to an Android device, and don’t want to lose your Whatsapp data.

Cloud services like Google Drive and iCloud have made it much easier for everyone to keep their important files in one place and retrieve it on the go.

In such situations, simply use Wondershare InClowdz and transfer the Whatsapp backup file from one cloud platform to the other.
