How to Backup Your WeChat Chat History on Android

This How.com.vn teaches you how to back up all WeChat conversations on your Android to a Windows PC.

Steps

  1. How.com.vn English: Step 1 Install WeChat on a Windows computer.
    You must have a PC running Windows to use this method.[1]
    • To download WeChat, go to https://www.wechat.com/en/ in a web browser, click the Windows logo inside of a computer screen, then click Download.
    • Once the download is complete, run the installer (called WeChat_C1018.exe, though the number part changes frequently), then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
