🔁 WhatsApp How to Restore Backup
If you switched phones or reinstalled WhatsApp, here’s how to bring everything back:
-
Verify same number and account — your chats are tied to your phone number and Google Drive (Android) or iCloud (iPhone).
-
Reinstall WhatsApp → open → tap Restore when prompted.
-
Wait for the restore to complete — it can take time if your media backup is large.
-
If you skipped the restore prompt, delete and reinstall WhatsApp again.
💡 Tip: If restore fails, check Google Drive/iCloud settings → confirm WhatsApp backups exist and use the same email ID.
