Tap on “Backup frequency” and it will open a new pop-up option. Select the option if you need daily, weekly or monthly backup. Then select the Gmail address of your Google Drive for WhatsApp chat backup.

You can even set up if you want the backups to be done over Wi-Fi only or with mobile network too.

Optionally you can press “Back up now” from the “Chat backup” screen. It will create and backup chats at current state and your WhatsApp chats are safe in the cloud.
