But it says I will never be able to restore a backup on WhatsApp

How ?

If I Delete WhatsApp Backup from Google Drive What Happens
If you delete a WhatsApp backup from Google Drive, you cannot restore that backup on your current Android device or from Android to a new iPhone. Also, your new device will not ask you to restore a backup if you have deleted the backup from Google Drive.

What important is you save the local backup to your PC/laptop/other devices.. uninstall whatsapp from your phone, then install again

**typically the local backup location is at Internal Storage > Whatsapp > Databases
the filename will show as msgstore-[date].1.db.crypt[version]
eg: msgstore-2023-03-17.1.db.crypt14

after that, copy the local backup file back into the phone (if it was deleted during uninstall), then open whatsapp app

it should try to restore local backup first

Turn off read receipt in the settings.

Next time do not hijack a topic to ask a different question, open your own topic please.

Easy.

After u do a local Chat Backup, copy the entire WhatsApp folder from the old phone to the new phone and set up all over again. WhatsApp will detect the latest backup and proceed to restore it.

Been doing it this way for all my phone since Day 1. Everything will be restored completely except for those messages that arrived during the backup process.

You can ignore to answer.

Also, provided wrong information also.

Did not read properly. Turn off read receipt doesn't show blue double ticks but still double ticks. sH
