How to restore WhatsApp chat history: A step-by-step guide
Losing WhatsApp chats after switching phones or reinstalling the app can be stressful, especially when the messages contain important photos, conversations or other information. Fortunately, WhatsApp allows users to restore their chat history using a Google Account backup on Android or an iCloud backup on iPhone. Before restoring chats, users should check that a backup is available and that they are using the required account. Here is a step-by-step guide to restore WhatsApp chat history on Android smartphones and iPhones.
Once you’ve confirmed you have a Google Account backup, you can start the restoring process. You can restore your chat history as long as you have an existing Google Account backup. To check if you have an existing Google Account backup: Open the Google One app and sign into your Google account. If you don’t have a Google Account backup, you can still restore chats on a new device by transferring chats from your old device. To restore your chat history from your Google Account backup: Verify your phone number and Apple ID.
