WhatsApp’s backup and restore limitations compared to apps like Telegram and Discord are primarily due to its focus on privacy and its use of end-to-end encryption. WhatsApp backups are encrypted and stored locally or in cloud services like Google Drive or iCloud, but they are not cross-platform, meaning you can't easily transfer chats from iOS to Android or vice versa. Additionally, WhatsApp’s reliance on phone numbers for accounts makes it more difficult to implement seamless cross-platform migration. Telegram and Discord, on the other hand, store chat data on their servers, allowing for easier cross-platform access and backup.
