Does iTunes backup whatsapp chat history ?

Hey,


I'm considering to update to iOS7, but i don't want to risk losing my data (especially my contacts, photos and whatsapp chat history)..

Now, if I am correct, then, an itunes backup saves my contacts and photo's.

However, my question is whether an iTunes backup also saves my whatsapp chat history?


Can someone help me out please?


Thanks in advance!

It didn't work for me. I backed up my phone on August 4th and when I encountered a problem and had to do a restore (from 4th August), none of the apps were there. And most importantly, WhatsApp with thousands of messages with my clients were gone. When I reinstalled the app, it asked me if I want to restore, but even after restoring 700mb from iCloud, it is just blank. Really frustrating. Now nearly a month on, I am still trying to recover back my thousands of messages.
