Special permissions are needed for Android 11 or later. Tap "USE THIS FOLDER" to grant Dr.Fone access to your WhatsApp directory. When a permission pop-up appears, tap "ALLOW" to proceed.

If Dr.Fone doesn't detect an existing WhatsApp backup, a pop-up will notify you. Click the "Backup" button in the pop-up to create a backup of your WhatsApp data.

Dr.Fone will check to see if there is already a backup of WhatsApp. If you have a recent backup, you can proceed. If your last backup is outdated, select "Re-backup" to create a new one.
