WA is very lousy.. still need to backup, then restore.

Unlike Telegram, you do not need to do all of these. Free from all troublesomes

Because whatsapp store all data locally, telegram is not

whenever i format phone or change phone, the restore took so many hours.

And I encountered the same as what the TS encountered, it corrupted halfway and can't get full restoration. Tried many ways and have no solution at all. At last, I gave up to all messages and history and started with clean and empty account.

If the Google Drive backup is corrupted, no way to restore it. However, the local backup may still be good. It is located at the Android > media > com.whatsapp folder. Use a file manager to browse the folder.

It is not due to remote backup file issue, it is due to database.

I encountered the same issue before. Even restoration from local backup file is still the same.

The restoration corrupted at certain percentage, say 51%... then it stopped and corrupted the whole.

I just backup to 'refresh' g drive avoid suddenly deactivate that service
So once per month or 2 month by manual tap
Because it keep stuck uploading after over 70, 80% even on my 300mbps unifi

When i change device, whatsapp auto detect local file is never that g drive  instant restore without download

how about if your device suddenly kong and you have no way to get your recent local file, then you have to restore from G drive and you restore from old file and the messages after that hilang liao
