WhatsApp currently handles local backups entirely incompetently and infuriatingly despite claiming (IMO dishonestly) that the feature exists, providing inaccurate and incomplete documentation. This is nice to see, but far too little too late for me to trust the app for longevity.
I recently had the issue for the second time of losing over a year of messages due to dysfunctional WhatsApp backups, about which I wrote a blog post of complaints/rants [1]. The user, as far as I can tell at least on Android, currently has no viable option besides uploading their messages, unencrypted, to Google.
