Part 3: How to Access WhatsApp Backup on iCloud

Just like Android, iPhone users also want to know how to access WhatsApp backup on iCloud as well. If you use WhatsApp on iPhone, then you get a chance to take a backup on iCloud (instead of Google Drive). Though, you might already know how serious Apple can be about security. That is why, even when you go to the official website of iCloud and log in to your account, you won’t see any WhatsApp backup section. If you want, you can access your iCloud drive, but there is no solution as of now to extract only WhatsApp chats from it.

Alternatively, if you wish to access your WhatsApp chats, then consider taking the backup of your phone on iTunes. Later, you can use a dedicated iTunes backup extractor and load the “ChatStorage.sqlite” from it to access your WhatsApp chats.
