Guess what, after receiving my repaired LG G4 yesterday, one of the very first thing to do was to start setting up the whatsapp back up (since one can't be sure if a boot loop will start again since the handphone still get really hot when I start downloading and installing all the rest of the lost apps into the phone from Google Play).

After losing everything in the whatsapp (which was a nightmare), I had now set a daily back up rather than doing it manually (which was my original setting that I had forgotten to back up ever since the last back up a year ago).

For readers whom had not done a back up before, you may go to the settings-->Chat-->Chat backup.

And you may choose to set it this way below. Using wifi instead of data may help to cut down on data usage (especially most people are sharing long video files now in whatsapp groups).

Take note to set the options as boxed in Red. However, if you prefer a monthly backup instead of daily, you may switch from daily to monthly too.

And remember to check the box for "Include Video".


Hope this helps and have a great weekend!
