In addition to spending leisure time, almost everyone now uses whatsApp, the world's most popular instant messaging platform, to chat for urgent work needs. Many media files (pictures, videos, GIFs, and documents) are stored on our devices in everyday chatting. Users usually back up all their data to Google Drive or iCloud (for iPhone) to keep these files safe forever. However, as it has the convenience of storing a limited amount of data, many users find this service insufficient.
In many cases, there are complaints that Google/Apple monitors users' confidential information in various ways. So many avoid such services provided by Google/Apple for fear of data loss. So now the question is, how do users in all these categories keep their data backup? In that case, there is a special trick to backup media and other WhatsApp data offline. In today's report, we are going to tell you about that special way.
Users can backup media and other WhatsApp data using this offline method:
Let us inform you that WhatsApp stores all its files in separate folders in the root storage of Android devices. Now the question is, how to find the location of this folder? In that case, use any file explorer to find the WhatsApp folder by going to Internal Storage > Android > media > com.WhatsApp > WhatsApp > Media. This main folder will have numerous subfolders like whatsApp Animated GIFs, WhatsApp Audio, WhatsApp Images and WhatsApp Video.
In this way WhatsApp data can be backed up as desired:
If you want to backup any of the above folders, you can copy it to your laptop or desktop. Also, that folder can be moved to an external hard drive or flash drive. Again, if you want to keep a backup of all your media files, you can copy the entire media folder and all its subfolders. Moreover, if you ever decide to reinstall WhatsApp on a new phone, you will have the opportunity to use these folders in place as per your need. Simply put, thanks to Hot Folders you'll never have to manually download a media file again.

What is WhatsApp's business model and how does WhatsApp earn? Technology analysts have different ideas about WhatsApp's business model. Its main income is considered to be subscription fee. But many people think that WhatsApp can also earn from database management. But WhatsApp's chief executive has denied selling customer data or allowing other companies to create services based on customer data analysis. He has no plans to earn from advertising. Of course, the work done by the founders of WhatsApp to create the service, now being sold to Facebook for 1,900 million US dollars, analysts call it a big income. About 100-150 million dollars were invested behind this company.
