Has anyone had success with WhatsApp recovery after switching phones?
Hey everyone, I’m dealing with a bit of a situation and could really use some advice. I recently switched to a new phone and thought I had backed everything up properly, but when I installed WhatsApp on the new device, none of my old chats or media showed up. I had some really important conversations saved, both personal and work-related, and now it feels like they just vanished.
I did have Google Drive backups enabled (at least I thought I did), but when I tried to restore, it said no backup was found. I’ve been going down the rabbit hole of WhatsApp recovery and found a few tools online, including this one: https://www.gbyte.com/ — has anyone here tried it or anything similar?
I’m trying to figure out if there’s still hope or if I’ve lost everything for good. If you’ve gone through something like this or have any tips on recovering deleted WhatsApp messages or restoring chat history after a phone switch, I’d love to hear what worked for you. Thanks in advance.
