Iphone Backup Icloud Whatsapp

Dear users,


I backup my whatsapp through Icloud and not through the backup option of whatsapp itself. So under setting, my name, Icloud I select whatsapp. However my backup is only 1GB while my whatsapp is already 5Gb is everyting backup then?


Kind regards,


Mark

Under iPhone Storage, your WhatsApp is 5GB (this includes the app size plus all the documents & data on it).


Why is the back up then only 1GB? Either one or all these reasons, I think!

  1. In WhatsApp settings, you can choose to not backup videos
  2. Your back ups are step increments (only backing up what has changed since the last back up)
  3. iCloud WhatsApp backup data is compressed
