Choose Include Media when prompted

Frequent backups give you peace of mind that your WhatsApp data is safe even if your phone is lost or damaged.

53. WhatsApp Data Export with Media
Exporting a WhatsApp chat is easy — but if you want to include media, there’s a specific option.

Steps:

Open a chat.

Tap the three-dot menu > More > Export Chat.


This will generate a ZIP file with a .txt transcript whatsapp number database and all images, videos, and audio from the chat. The exported media maintains original resolution unless previously compressed by WhatsApp.

This method is helpful for archiving, sharing with legal teams, or keeping personal memories. Be cautious with file size, as exports with media can quickly exceed email attachment limits. Consider using cloud storage links instead.
