Hi guys
It’s over a year since the US government implemented a ban on the Chinese telecom giant i.e. the Huawei. Under this ban, Huawei is not allowed to trade with any of the American companies without a proper license. The same thing applies to Google, thus all the Huawei phones announced after the US-trade ban comes missing with the Google Play Services and Play Store. But, this doesn’t make Huawei fall back and comes with its own Google Mobile Services (GMS) replacement called the Huawei Mobile Services (HMS). However, there are few consequences like one can’t use Google Drive to back up WhatsApp chat histories. But there is an alternative thus what we have shared here. In this guide, we have quick steps to use Huawei Mobile Cloud instead of Google Drive for WhatsApp Data Backup on any Huawei/Honor device.
In the past, Huawei users have had to resort to workarounds that involve manually transferring the backup file to a new device. Now, the company has announced that Huawei Mobile Cloud will now allow users to “backup easily” when it comes to their WhatsApp chat logs.
This isn’t exclusive to WhatsApp, with the Huawei Mobile Cloud supporting data backups for WeChat, Telegram, Facebook, Messenger, and Weibo (messages and media). According to the company, chat history is automatically restored whenever a user logs into their Huawei ID account — which means that only HONOR & Huawei-to-HONOR & Huawei device transactions are compatible.
Guide to use Huawei Mobile Cloud instead of Google Drive for WhatsApp Data Backup:
Step 1: Go to Settings.
Step 2: Tap on your Huawei ID.
Step 3: Select ‘Cloud’.
Step 4:. By default, the Cloud backup will be disabled. You need to manually enable it.
Step 5: Tap on Backup-up options and select App Data.
You can also add the cloud to your home screen
Currently, Huawei Mobile Cloud offers 5GB of free storage which can be utilized to backup chat histories, app data, and various forms of media. If you want more storage, upgrade to paid plans
which offer up to 2TB of storage.
I hope the above guide was useful in setting-up Huawei Mobile Cloud as an alternative for Google Drive. For more such Huawei tutorials, do check our TIPS section.
