All WhatsApp data of Android users are by default saved on Google Drive linked to the account. There's no option to import a local backup. Presently, when a user sets up WhatsApp, it prompts him to import a backup from the Google account linked to the device.

There have been reports that WhatsApp on Android may lose its free Google backups. Recover it, and the chat history from the previously renamed file will be restored.Android users, you may soon lose unlimited storage on Google Drive to save your chats and media. During the installation, the program will suggest recovering the chat and contact backup copy which it has found, in the way that we described in the previous part of the article. That is why, when you need to restore chats as they were on a certain date, find a file which contains this date in its name, and rename such file into msgstore.db.crypt12.Īfter that, delete WhatsApp from your device and reinstall it. In our case, this is a chat backup copy dated 8 November 2016. Msgstore-.1.db.crypt12 is a backup copy of the application’s chats for a certain date which is given in the file name. This is the file used for automatic chat and contact recovery after reinstallation of WhatsApp. Msgstore.db.crypt12 is the file with the latest WhatsApp chat backup. If you go to that folder, you will find a file with the name msgstore.db.crypt12 there, and several more files with names like msgstore-.1.db.crypt12.
