First, enable the backup option to your WhatsApp. To enable it, go to Settings in WhatsApp and choose Chats, then Chat backup and backup to Google Drive. It will help you save your chats on your Google Drive. It displays different options like daily, weekly, and monthly. Select your desired option.

There are other options also like Never and Only When I tab Backup. If you choose Never, your chat history will not be saved. The other option allows you to back up if you tab the button. So, choose carefully to recover your chat history from your Google Drive. This process is useful if you change your device or switch to a new mobile phone.
