There is an issue with whatsapp backup to icloud ( I can’t figure out whether it’s after ios 16 or latest whatsapp update), auto backup isn’t working even when connected to a wifi and when i try to backup manually it gets stuck at “preparing”. I tried every troubleshooting possible but to no use.
iPhone 13, iOS 16
I think there’s some issue on the local database, something has got corrupted so the backup procedure is not able to start correctly.
Thanks for the potential diagnosis Alex. Any idea how to delete and rebuild the local database?
Okay - so you haven’t had first hand experience with any of them?
correct
I’ve exactly the same issue - it’s unsettling after years of taking the app’s back up feature for granted ☹️
P.S. None of the various workarounds posted online have worked for me.
Did not work for me.
However, I'm happy you solved.
Reagrds,

Hi,
thank you for your post, however it did not work for me: I tried to stop and restart the backup more than 5 times with no success.

I tried all of the steps, unfortunately it did not work for me.
Tried it 8 times, did not work for me.
Hi,
today WhatsApp released a new version on the App Store.
This update solved my issue.

The update solved my backup issue also!
Same here. The newest update of WhatsApp on 01/19/23 fixed it.
