WhatsApp Windows app: No way to sync to phone, no way to backup chats
The Windows WhatsApp app is essentially a companion to your phone's WhatsApp. It mirrors the messages from your phone but does not store or sync chat backups independently on your PC. The messages are still primarily stored and managed on your phone, and the app acts as a real-time mirror.
It DOES NOT mirror my phone messages, that's the problem. It is not syncing with my phone, and the Windows App messages are not included in the backup of my phone's messages. The Windows app is completely separated from my phone. I've re-linked them and it still doesn't mirror my phone, and my phone doesn't mirror the Windows App, which is what I use most of the time. Even when I DO use my phone, the messages are not mirrored on the Windows app.
BTW, you need a thumbs down button.
