Part 2. Restore WhatsApp Backup without Uninstalling via iTunes

It is barely possible to restore your WhatsApp data without uninstalling it using the standard methods, however, we could still make use of iTunes to restore the backup. For iTunes to work, you would need to have a backup of the data already available on your computer, and if that is the case, we are good to go.

• Step 1. Connect your iPhone to your computer via a lightning cable.
• Step 2. Open iTunes, head to the summary tab from the left column. 
• Step 3. Now locate “Restore Backup”.

However, there are some shortcomings of using the method: iTunes doesn’t let you selectively restore your data which means that all your data would be overwritten. It induces a higher risk on your other important data being lost. Alongside it, the entire data being restored takes a lot more time than usual, and any interruption means that the long process would have to restart again.

Alongside it, the software has a seamless process that doesn’t require any technical knowledge, so you are good to go.
