I'm not doing it for the first time. Actually I was facing issues while taking backup of my whatsapp chats. Therefore I deleted the previous chat backup data from icloud & tried to take a fresh backup. But I'm facing the same issue again and again.

Same here. Last successful backup was last Saturday, 31/12/2022.


I've tried all the workarounds I've found searching to no avail. ie: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/whatsapp-stuck-on-preparing-backup.2375807/?post=31850082#post-31850082


I started a chat with Apple Support which went offline while I was explaining details of the issue - NOT the way to go, Apple Support"!
