Backup WhatsApp to Mac - moving to new phone

I'm pulling my hair out trying to backup my WhatsApp data to my Mac as I'm moving to a new phone and need to take this data along with me as it pertains to work. WhatsApp does not allow backup via mobile data (it's 2020, WhatsApp!), only wifi which I don't have. I can access my phone via iTunes on the Mac, but I can't see where to find the WhatsApp data.


Any help you can give is greatly appreciated!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14

Go to a place that offers free wi-fi or go to a family or friend's home that will let you sign in to their wi-fi to run the backup.
