How to restore WhatsApp chats
WhatsApp chat history may have been deleted by mistake, or chats may have disappeared due to a glitch in the Android system. The following steps can help restore WhatsApp Android chats.
Backup
Before explaining the steps to restore, you must activate the backup to ensure that your chats are backed up before restoring them on a new Android device, according to “WhatsApp”:
- Open WhatsApp > Additional options > Settings > Chats > Chat backup.
Choose the Google account you want to backup your chats to. You can also create a local backup on your device.
- Click on "Backup".
After saving the backup, you can remove WhatsApp from your device and install it on your new Android device.
Restore a backup on Google Drive
To keep a copy of your chat history on Google Drive, you can enable automatic backup of your chats and set the frequency to be daily, weekly, or monthly.
In order to successfully restore a Google Drive backup, you must use the phone number and Google account that you used to create the backup.
To restore your backup:
- Make sure your new Android device is linked to the Google account where your backup is saved.
Install and open WhatsApp, then confirm your number.
Click Restore to restore your chats and media from Google Drive when prompted.
After the restore process is complete, click on Next. Your chats will appear once the configuration is complete.
After restoring your chats, WhatsApp will continue to restore your media files.
If you have installed WhatsApp but no previous Google Drive backups are available, WhatsApp will automatically restore the logs from your local backup file.
Restore records from a local backup
WhatsApp says that if you want to use a backup saved on your device, you'll need to transfer files to the phone using a computer, file explorer, or an SD card.
To restore your backup:
- Download a file manager app.
In the File Manager app, go to Local Storage or SD Card > WhatsApp > Databases. If your data isn't saved to an SD card, check "Internal Storage" or "Primary Storage" instead. Copy the latest backup files to the Databases folder in the local storage on your new machine.
Install and open WhatsApp, then confirm your number.
When prompted, click Restore to restore your chats and media from your local backup.
Note
Your phone saves local backup files created in the last 7 days.
Local backups are created automatically every day at 2:00 AM and saved as a file on your phone.
If your data is not saved in /sdcard/WhatsApp/ folder, check your "internal storage" or "primary storage" folder.
