Most people backup WhatsApp messages on Android to Google Drive. In fact, you may have already set a regular automatic backup to Google Drive. If you already have a backup to Google Drive, restoring the backup is a very simple process. Follow these simple steps to restore WhatsApp messages on Android from Google Drive;
Step 1: Begin by uninstalling WhatsApp from your Android device. Reinstall it and then launch it from the App Drawer.
Step 2: Tap “Agree and Continue” and enter your phone number to verify it
Step 3: Tap “Next” and then “OK”
Step 4: Tap “Continue” and when prompted to restore WhatsApp, tap “Restore”
Step 5: Enter your name and tap “Next”
Once the process is complete, you will be able to easily access the WhatsApp messages on your Android device.
WhatsApp will always back up the chats and attachments on your account automatically at around 2.00 AM. These backups are stored in the device’s internal memory or the SD card. Therefore you can also get your lost messages back on the device by simply restoring this backup. Here’s how to do that;
Step 1: To access this backup file, you will have to download a file manager.
Step 2: Use the file manager app to navigate to the folder named “sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases”. If the folder is not in the SD card or you don’t have an SD card on your device, you might see “internal storage” or “main storage” rather than “sd card”
Step 3: Once you open the folder, find and rename the backup file you want to restore from “msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt12” to “msgstore.db.crypt12”. Keep the crypt extension the same even if it is “crypt9” or cyrpt10”.
Step 4: Uninstall and then reinstall WhatsApp on your device
Step 5: Follow the prompts to set up WhatsApp and confirm your phone number. When prompted, tap “Restore” and WhatsApp will restore chats from this local backup.
If you are switching devices from iPhone to Android, you may find that there are limited ways to move the WhatsApp data between the devices. You will not be able to restore an iCloud backup of your WhatsApp messages to the Android device because iCloud uses encryption protocols that your Android device will not be able to recognize.
The only way therefore for you to transfer WhatsApp messages on Android from iPhone is to use a third-party tool to transfer WhatsApp data from the iPhone to the Android device. The best for the task is MobileTrans- WhatsApp Transfer and the following are some of the features that make it the most ideal solution;
To use MobileTrans- WhatsApp Transfer to transfer WhatsApp from your iPhone to the Android device, follow these simple steps;

Step 3: Click on “Start” and the transfer process will begin immediately. Keep both devices connected to the computer until the process is complete and the program notifies you that the process is complete.
One of this program’s best features is that you can create a full backup of WhatsApp data to your computer. If you use this backup feature, you can then use this tool to restore the backup to the Android device. Here’s how to do that;
Step 1: Run MobileTrans- WhatsApp Transfer on your computer and then select “Backup&Restore”. In the options that appear, click on “App Backup&Restore > Restore”.
