How can you find WhatsApp backup on Google Drive?

WhatsApp backups on Google Drive are not stored as separate files that you can easily find and access. Instead, they are integrated with your Google Drive storage and are not visible in the Google Drive app or website.

When you back up your WhatsApp chats to Google Drive, the backups are stored in a hidden folder that is not accessible to users. The backups are encrypted and can only be restored to the same WhatsApp account and device that was used to create the backup.

To restore a WhatsApp backup from Google Drive, you need to uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp on the same device that was used to create the backup. During the setup process, WhatsApp will automatically detect the backup on Google Drive and prompt you to restore it.

If you want to manage your WhatsApp backups on Google Drive, you can do so through the Google Drive app or website. However, you will not be able to access the actual backup files or view their contents.

To manage your WhatsApp backups on Google Drive, follow these steps:

1. Open the Google Drive app or website.
2. Tap on the menu icon in the top-left corner of the screen.
3. Tap on "Settings" and then "Manage Apps."
4. Scroll down and tap on "WhatsApp Messenger."
5. Here, you can see the amount of storage used by your WhatsApp backups and delete any backups that you no longer need.

Note that deleting a WhatsApp backup from Google Drive will permanently delete the backup and you will not be able to restore it later. Make sure to create a new backup before deleting an old one if you want to keep a copy of your chats.
