User Comment:
Have also face this problem. The background on my feedback dates to 25 June 2020, whereby i do my backup on iTunes (iPhone 6S 64GB), Whatsapp messages have stop backing up for sometime as due to heavy loads of images & video files which keep coming at least 60GB of backup required if using WhatsApp backup. It Crashed suddenly on 24 or 25 Jun despite updating the latest version of WhatsApp Version 2.20.61. I was actually in fact in the midst clearing and deleting some messages and photos
I was immediately directed to a page heading ""Recover chat history" , Whatsapp seems to having trouble reading your chat history and will try to recover it. This can take several minutes. Do not exit app or turn your phone off during this period, was connected to wifi. Then came chat box "Sorry something went wrong while trying to recover your chat history. Please try again." Then followed by final message " Unfortunately Whatsapp was unable to recover your chat history, please delete and reinstall WhatsApp", then it auto exits. i had issues to back up WhatsApp for sometime thus used iTunes instead but was unable to do so as it states there is not enough memory on my computer, it have left me more confused. I was simply trying to clear out some videos files and images when it crashed.
Old Whatsapp Messages can't seem to transfer to another phone like Android (especially when u registered your number, it automatically exits all chat groups, despite being backup to iCloud?
Have also paid monthly 2TB iCloud space but doesn't work. I have email Apple and WhatsApp, No assistance render at all.
Have try the following ways but didn't seem to work out :
1. Using Wondershare Dr.Fone manage to only show images save but not messages
2. Had went to check facebook if there's an alternative - Whatsapp business account on facebook is strictly from customer to website , no dual communication
3. Attempt to load WhatsApp on another phone - android, didn't work out. Instead it auto exits me from group chats

Thank you so much
Hey mate, got the same problem I have fixed the mine one couple of months. I just have done the full reset of the iPhone and chose a previous back up from the iCloud. But in this time I didn't interrupt the Automatic download of the WhatsApp. Really take really long time even if you have a good internet connection. I just have lost the messages and media for the days after the backup that I have chosen.
Hey mate, I think am also having the same problem to restore my previous data it never completed during the back up it was cut and now it’s failing, so for now my hope is your solution like what u did am asking if u can could help me in how u exactly did it so that I can just restore same old data before the backup, I will really appreciate for your assistance man
THANK YOUUU, i was restoring my chats but it just stayed in a loop, with the first solution it worked

1st one worked nicely !! turning off the drive den turning on ❤

Turning iCloud drive off and then on really helped! Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Hiii brother I forgot my end to end encryptions key password but i wnt my backup ??? Plz let me knw
I have same issue. I accidentally interrupted the backup process so when I am trying it’s say can’t restore chat history. I tried all the things but nothing is working. Can I know anything else?
That backup is ruined, your best shot is to unload an old backup you might have on your laptop. If not just move on, that's what I did and to be honest it felt good.
Did u manage to backup? I am currently facing the same issue now
No, I let my old history go, I have no regrets
Most of my photos in picture gallery are gone as I have not backed up to iCloud since I exceeded the free 5 Gig iCloud storage in 2020.
Pls I will appreciate if you have anything I can do to recover this .
Thanks
Pls can you help me with tips I can use to restore my chats history?
I have similar issues telling me couldn’t restore chat history where I have about 14Gig has chat history so i got tired n mistakenly click on back on now.
I can’t find the previous chat history anymore, only the present one is what I have now as a result of the back up now that I clicked. So how do I get this previous 14Gig chat history?
Thanks
Today I deleted the whatsapp app and downloaded it again. After that I wanted to restore all my chats that I had but it is not possible. when I restore everything, it only resets the chats from February 22, 2021 and the chats after will not come. PLEASE HELP . I need to get my chats back.( IT ONLY RESETS THE CHATS FROM 2021-02-20. And the chats after this date will not come
Could you please help me with that
No backup found , i did all the steps and tried all methods . Same massage
I already have the back up inside i cloud ..
Helpp me out plZz
I could't fix it either.
Mate please help me not all my chats are back and some of them don’t even have the messages like the old messages it just says you were added to a group for example and empty help
I could never complete the back up before on my iPhone, as my upload speed is too slow. I had to reset it today because I forgot my passcode and I lost everything now. :(
So sorry to hear that, I also lost everything, but I feel OK now, is better to forget the pass and keep moving forward.
I don’t have a backup found
So shall I back up the new data, or just wait maybe i can solve it some day😭?
The advice is to find an older backup and restore from there, but you will loose whatever new conversation you are having now. I ended up starting fresh, I felt like I took a heavy backpack from my shoulders.
@@SuAmigoAlex how can i find an older backup?:(

Unable to restore your chats from this backup do you want to restore your chats from older back up how to solve

Pudiste recuperar ? Estoy en tu misma situacion
Yo perdí mi historial, pero a mucha gente le ha servido el video y pudieron recuperar.
sign out then sign in to your iCloud again it might work
I let it go, I realized I didn't need my old chats.
December 21, iCloud backup worked but restoring no. I tried everything but nothing seems to work :(
Did u try all the video suggestions?

Hello, I made 2 backup the first one is completely done, but the second one after 2 days didn’t complete and I stopped it and deleted WhatsApp App, now the restoring is stuck on 99, what is the solution? I tried yours in the video but not wok.
Maybe if you restore the whole iPhone from an older backup you can get some chats back, but not the latest ones.
Help!
I lost all my data in april 2020 , since then I wasn't using Apple device. Today i bought one. And im happy that it shows that was backup is there but same issue is happening to me.

Did u try everything?
hey so can u help me? i backup my chat already and deleted whatsapp . after i reinstall it , and restore my chat history , why theres no old chat? please :( its my memory . help mee
Chances are you never finish 100% doing the backup on Google Drive or iCloud, thats why when you try to restore your history nothing is there.
Ya probe absolutamente todas las alternativas. Ninguna funciona
Toca empezar de cero
after the first step whatsapp could no longer even find my back up!! :(((((
Sorry alex
I think i have found the root of your problem
As we see the size of whatsapp backup is 4.5gb
But on the other side the size on icloud drive is only 5.9mb
I think its corrupted or something
We should double check everytime we do backup
We have to make sure that size backed up on whatsapp and in icloud drive is same sized
Looking forward to see your opinion
Hi, thank you so much, let me double check please, I'll be back
Mine doesn’t work
Did you find a solution?
Not yet, sorry.
SuAmigo Alex oh no, so shall I delete the back up and update it?😢
@@ff-qo2ku The solution is to use an older backup you might have out there, the bad part is that you will loose your newer chats.
SuAmigo Alex but how? I just have one backup, its very old 5 months ago
My issue is that, it’s stuck on a percentage and it can’t continue restoring
How did it end?
@@IsoXable it worked, you just have to wait
@@dadj3118 dudeeeeee waitttttt!!!!!!!
Do you mean that THAT RESTORING CHATS that is STUCK on % will work itself!!!!
All I have to do is wait?!!!!!!!
@@riyachaudhary7404 yessir, it worked overnight for me. Just be patient.
@@dadj3118 I HOPE IT WORK FOR ME TOO🥺
Android all the way!!! I’m going back to android
My recovery is stopped at 98% for so long time
What should i do?😭
Try the steps on my video
All thanks to *Eric_techz* on iNSTagram who got my deleted photos and files restored
Hey, i have the exact same issue and i think its because my latest whatsapp backup got interrupted that i cant restore my whatsapp data.
Should i
1. factory reset my phone then login back to my iCloud, or
2. Just logout from the iCloud and log back in?
Thanks!
Probably #1 but chances are you are gonna restore from an old WhatsApp backup
👆👆Contact him
I have the same problem. 🙄
I let my old chats go...
Man I literally spent the whole day trying to figure out a way. Have paid extra for icloud extra storage, backed up everything and still at the end I lose my data. Its really frustrating..never had these issues on Android before and I am switching back to android just because whatsapp messages are precious to me.
I hear you Rongon, I lost years of chats too, but to be honest I feel lighter now, is better to live moving forward without the heavy backpack of the past. What Android are you getting?
@@SuAmigoAlex I already had two phones. Iphone 7 and oneplus 6. So I'll be using the oneplus 6 from now on. I have always been an apple guy. I prefer instagram on ios, apple car play, etc way more than android and also ios has garageband. Lets see how it goes with android..
Got the fix though...Had to factory reset the phone again and let the restore process download the apps...I did not interrupt the download...took the entire night to download the apps and restore it like before but once it was done everything was back to where it was before the reset. Thankfully everything was restored, I had to do nothing..
@@ronztinz dude waittttttt???!!!!!
Are you talking about it I do reset my phone( iPhone XR) so I’ll get my years of whatsapp chats!!?????????
Somehow!!!
Currently I’m facing problem where last evening I completed my backup and dlt whatsapp today I have to install it due to some reason but it’s STUCK ON RESTORING CHATS!!!!!!!!!
And now I cannot use whatsapp cuz either I have to wait for it but It’s not restoring anything it’s been a whole day now ! Or I have to SKIP RESTORE!
That I cannot do!!!!
@@riyachaudhary7404 I was facing the same issue too. But there is only one way. Connect to a fast wifi and let the download of whatsapp complete by itself, you’ll get the chats…don’t try to do anything manually. Let IOS download whatsapp automatically..
Tias Zúñiga chat 😁😁😁
😬
I’m unable to fix this problem! What to do? Can u suggest something
I did suggest several things to do, your best bet is to restore it using a very old WhatsApp backup...
@@SuAmigoAlex how can you do that?
