Solution 2: Restore Old Whatsapp Backup from Local Backup on Android

Aside from Google Drive, WhatsApp for Android typically saves messages to your phone's local storage. Even if you remove WhatsApp, you may be able to recover your messages and photos. While restoring from Google Drive is the most convenient method, if you did not backup WhatsApp to Google Drive, the local backup file might be used to retrieve the chats while reinstalling the application. Like Google Drive, the WhatsApp local backup is normally encrypted.

You can easily restore it by following simple steps.

1. Open your Android phone's file manager app to access and go to the internal storage or SD card if you saved the local backup here.

2. Open WhatsApp folder and then navigate to the Databases Folder to access the latest WhatsApp backup file. The files in this folder are named, and the backup date is included.

3. Remove the date from the most recently dated file after choosing it. A file named 'msgstore-yyyy-mm-dd.1.db. crypt12' should be renamed to 'msgstore.db. crypt12'. The backup extension can always be changed, but you should never delete the crypt extension number.

4. And then, go to Google Play store to download the WhatsApp app by following the setup instructions. Select the option to restore WhatsApp from a local backup when asked.
