Have you been in a situation
where you lost all the information you need? I've been with that scenario
several times in my line of work which is teaching. I sometimes lost my
students papers, other documents and worst, even a student’s grade. Even in
simple case like accidentally losing all your contacts or other data on your
mobile phone was simply devastating!
From
that, I’ve learned my lesson. I always back up all my files whenever I can.
There are times that we need to retrieve information – important or not. It’s because
unlike good old hard copies, communications done digitally aren’t as easy to
keep and store in boxes for safekeeping. For this, social mobile app WeChat acts as your digital notepad. Thanks
to its Chat History Backup feature it saves conversation histories and restores
them to any device for up to seven (7) days.
The simple 3-step process of
WeChat’s Chat History Backup starts with selecting "Settings" >
"General" > "Chat History Backup" and then
clicking “Back Up” for the conversations you’d like to store.
Once you’ve
saved your chats, you can protect them by setting a password.
To restore
your conversations on any device, simply log on and tap “Restore” on the
Chat History Backup window. The backed-up history will be restored to your
device from the server.
Below is a rundown of
several instances when this cloud storage solution by WeChat saves your ass
from encounters wherein you need to refer to your information while on-the-go.
- Retrieving important dates
Birthdays,
anniversaries, or just about any date set for yearly celebrations are
vital details easily forgotten by the human brain. Give your spatial memory an
instant boost by referring to conversation histories, which
may contain reminders of these occasions. Chats with your sister could
reveal her listing hole-in-the wall restaurants like 100 Revolving
Restaurant in Quiapo or El Chupacabra in inconspicuous Polaris Street
in Makati. Also, conversations with your best friend could remind you
of the annual Art in the Park exhibit at Salcedo Village, which you’ve
planned to go to together.
- Keeping lists
If
you observe daily routines, it’s easy to spot how digital messages have long
replaced the function of tactile Post-its and refrigerator notes. Lacking
several things in the pantry? Your mom could’ve sent you a grocery
list via WeChat. Receiving a huge package with separate parts of
a bike? One quick check of your history could bring up a message from your
dad with DIY instructions—helping you you assemble your gear just in time
for your mountaineering trip to the dirt trails of Montalban and Camp
Aguinaldo.
- Retrieving work exchanges
Aside
from notebooks and emails, digital conversations with colleagues have also been
reference points for work-related tasks. Missed out on an important
detail relayed to you by your teammate over your WeChat group? No problem.
Simply retrieve your file either on your desktop, work phone, or personal phone
and proceed to finishing your task.

DeleteI think it's a terrific tool for the forgetful and really for organizing our data and our schedule. Wechat is a pretty cool app.
ReplyDeleteCool app I should say. :)
DeleteAside from chatting, the next best feature is the organizer and reminder especially for people who have a memory like a sieve.
ReplyDeleteagree. I like the organizer feature too 'coz I have a lot of things to organize in my life. :)
DeleteWow - it is so nice to hear that Wechat is really on the competition now and having a Cloud service for back up is really an advance from their same category of application. It is really nice,
ReplyDeleteKudos to them. They're competing very well with the other apps.
DeleteWeChat sure is releasing useful new features! I will have to dowload the app to try it.
ReplyDeleteYes. Go ahead and try it sis. :)
DeleteI haven't really heard about this app because I rarely use our tablet, haha! But reading this post, I learned quite a lot about it. I find it interesting. Nice app! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's very helpful sis. You should try to use it once you got time.

You're welcome sis. :)
DeleteWhen I was still in Pinas, I was using WeChat to chat with friends. But here abroad, especially in the Middle East, we are using WhatsApp. Gotta love those emoticons :)
ReplyDeleteWeChat is not available there?
DeleteI have WeChat but I actually haven't maximized its use yet..
ReplyDeleteI think it's cool to use it if there's strong wifi connection. :)
DeleteOh, we can use it for blackberry as well. I will tell hubby to download it so we can try.
ReplyDeleteI rarely use apps like this because I still tend to rely on old-fashioned SMS hehe. But this is a really neat feature. I might try it!
ReplyDeleteYou won't lose anything in trying this sis. Try lang. :)
DeleteThat's a cool feature to have, especially when you have a lot of important conversations.
ReplyDeleteIt's also a cute way to receive and send messages
DeleteI'm going to look if we do have similar apps here too.. and I don't use apps to the fullest yet. i bet its pretty cool to have:)
ReplyDeleteM
.. And it's free too!
DeleteI still have not shifted to gadget dependency since I do not own a smartphone. I rely on the good old pen and paper. It still works. hehehe One day, I will try this one.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can access the convenience of this app sis.
DeleteThat's a cool app with nifty features.. I haven't tried that yet as most of my friends are still on What's app.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can try this as well sis. :)
DeleteI haven't tried WeChat, sa dami na kasi ng free messaging apps I figured I'll stick with Viber and then FB na lang for the rest. Pero okay talaga ang chat history. Meron nun sa Windows Live Messenger before and I used it a lot kasi sa work pag may mga tinatanong parang reference ko na rin tuloy. hehe. Kahit ngayon sa chat app namin sa office, pag may nahingi akong link dati tapos kailangan ko uli, retrieve ko lang yung old conversation.
ReplyDeleteIs that on the desktop sis? This one's on mobile kasi.
DeleteI really haven't tried WeChat! Thanks for introducing it to me (since many others already know about it!) I will try to learn it and make the most out of it!
ReplyDeleteThis is all about convenience. Go ahead and try! :)
DeleteIt is time to explore wechat. Cloud storage really saves alot of "lives" especially if you are always on the go and you don't want to carry around oyur laptop or portable hard drives.
ReplyDeleteYep. This one also spells convenience. :)
Deletelike Vera, I haven't tried WeChat. In my case I haven't tried any mobile messeging simply because my phone is not capable of these applications. Generation 1 pa ata ang phone ko hehehe... But I used web app messaging like YM and Skype. I really heavily on the backup history of these IMs to create my weekly timesheets :D
ReplyDeleteOnce you get one mobile that caters this app, surely you'll enjoy the use of these feature.
