Today I decided to reset the phone. I got all my backups. At the same time, I copied all the files of WhatsApp to my computer completely. now i copied Whatsapp folder to phone memory. I installed Whatsapp, I got a message on my number, then I gave permission to google drive for backups (I only store my backups locally, not on google drive) .. but no restore notification came. I don't have any messages! please help me what should i do📷

EDIT When I uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp, the question 'Do you have a backup in google drive' appears. my whatsapp chat backup is locally on my phone. I tried every way. after installing i removed all google accounts, i copied whatsapp backups folder to both sd card and internal storage but it doesn't look at local backups... please we need urgent support!

  • Hi, have you followed the steps given on the official WhatsApp Help Center?

  • Of course I tried. The problem is that while whatsapp is re-installing, it only looks at google drive. passes without looking at local backups reddit.com/r/whatsapp/comments/np2zjp/…

  • There are similar questions asked already, and the most recent answer is to disable WhatsApp backup from Google Drive first: 1, 2. There's also the older approach mentioned on 3. Please try and let us know if any of it works. Thanks.

  • Yes, I've already tried all of these. it would also be approved if it worked. other than that, I installed the old whatsapp version (version 2.19.351) it said 'you have a local backup' (finally) but it didn't work this time. There is a really serious problem. I removed all my google accounts and did everything @AndrewT.

Please install WhatsApp version 2.21.8.17 and try again. It did the job for me.
