Where Are My WhatsApp Files? - Here Are The Locations Of Your WhatsApp Files, Backups, Downloads, Stickers & Databases

WhatsApp is a social media platform that has existed for more than a decade now. The social media platform has made communication between friends, families, acquaintances and business associates easier and cheaper over the years.

Before WhatsApp, there was what we all knew as 2go, then BBM, but the entrant of WhatApp faded away the existence of these other applications for one major reason.

Let me allow you to guess the reason (winks).

After WhatsApp came Telegram which helped to outdo some of the limitations put in place by WhatsApp. Some of these limitations include the inability to have more than 260 persons in a group, though WhatsApp is currently putting measures in place that will allow users to have up to 1000 persons in a group (so I read). If it be true, it would be a vibrant booster to WhatsApp's service which will help to eliminate the gross group limitation currently placed on WhatsApp groups.

That notwithstanding, WhatsApp is still the giant of social messaging service available in most smartphones around the world today.

Purchased by Facebook, currently Meta a few years back, WhatsApp is still helping to make communications via internet and VOIP easy, cheap and highly accessible today.

What many users may not currently know, is how they can access, and transfer their downloaded WhatsApp files to a computer or another mobile phone.

This is very useful if for instance you wish to print out a document which was sent to you via WhatsApp on a computer. How then will you locate such a file.

This post is about to guide you on how to do it in easy to understand steps.

To access your WhatsApp files and documents, you will need to navigate to the appropriate folders/locations where they are saved after they are downloaded. To find your documents in these locations, you must first download them on WhatsApp.

Below are the locations of your various WhatsApp documents:
