I have changed my phone. I had backed up my WhatsApp data on Google Drive. Google Drive shows the chat has been backed up there.
On the new phone, I reinstalled WhatsApp with the same phone number and opted to restore data. It only restores media files but no chat messages. Restoring messages stops at 24% and shows error "Unable to restore from current backup".
How can I restore my chat?
Open Whatsapp. If you have the chat backup, it will display a message "Backup found. Do you want to restore?" If not, then Go to Settings->Chats->Chat Backup. You will find the Google Drive option. Click on it and you are good to go.
Make sure you got your email account linked to the phone.
