Using WhatsApp Mods is everyone’s dream today, but no one wants to be concerned about the upcoming benefits. That’s a little weird as you won’t get the best views until you won’t reach the best heights. Consequences are important the way and one of the important consequences here is switching to WhatsApp Plus.
You can think of just uninstalling the official WhatsApp and installing WhatsApp Plus app from scratch. But there is an intermediate process that helps you get back all the data you pursued lastly on WhatsApp Messenger. It was a little quick last time as we used the Google Drive backups, but that’s not an option right now.
Google Drive doesn’t serve backup to WhatsApp+ and the reason is what you already know. WhatsApp Plus is a third-party version and that’s why it’s not there on Play Store and the same way you can’t use Google Backup to restore this version. Being sad is also not an option here as we are writing below the best procedure to do the same.
Below there, you’ll have a method that goes through the File Manager app and helps you backup & restores data without the Google backup. It’s possible, but there is a hidden trick and we’ve found it successfully to help you switch with all your important data.
