General does itunes backup backup whatsapp data too?

[censa]

im having some issue with my iphone 5s, and i need to restore it.but i dont want to lose my whatsapp data..i cant make a backup with icloud because its not working (im having a storage issue on the phone)..so i thought avout making a full backup with itunes and then restore the iphone from that backup..my question is "simple", "Does itunes backup whatsapp data, like chat, picture and videos too?"

It’s been a long time since I used iTunes but it never used to.
Storage issue with phone? Pay the £0.79 for more iCloud storage.

iTunes should backup WhatsApp data unless WhatsApp data is stored at somewhere iTunes backup does not cover. I don't have a confirmation on that though.

Yep, saved. If you are paranoid check the backup with iMazing and make sure that WhatsApp data is included before the reset.

I saw an answer like this in Quora: https://www.quora.com/Does-WhatsApp-chat-gets-backed-up-from-an-iPhone-using-iTunes
It seems that iTunes can indeed back up WhatsApp, but only recovers WhatsApp messages by restoring the entire backup package. If this is exactly what you need, then this is indeed a viable option. But if you don't want to back up WhatsApp messages by backing up the entire device, then you might as well try other ways to back up WhatsApp separately. For example, use iCloud.

Oh come on, stop spamming in old posts and linking to Quora with even older answers...
