Restoring data on GB WhatsApp can be tricky, especially because it's a modified version of the official WhatsApp app and doesn't always support official backup and restore methods. However, here's a general guide on how you might be able to restore your data: *1. Restore from a Local Backup:* If you have a local backup saved, you might be able to restore it by following these steps: 1. *Locate Your Backup:* - Open the file manager on your phone. - Navigate to *GB WhatsApp > Databases* or *WhatsApp > Databases* (depending on where your backups were saved). - You should see a file named something like msgstore.db.crypt12 or with a similar format. 2. *Reinstall GB WhatsApp:* - Uninstall GB WhatsApp if you haven't already. - Reinstall the same version of GB WhatsApp. 3. *Restore the Backup:* - During the installation, after verifying your phone number, GB WhatsApp should automatically detect the backup and prompt you to restore it. - Select *Restore*. *2. Restore from a Google Drive Backup:* GB WhatsApp typically doesn't support Google Drive backups, but if you've switched back to the official WhatsApp temporarily and made a Google Drive backup, you could restore that to the official app and then switch back to GB WhatsApp. Here’s how: 1. *Restore on Official WhatsApp:* - Reinstall the official WhatsApp from the Play Store. - Verify your number and choose to restore from Google Drive. 2. *Backup Again Locally:* - Once restored, you can create a local backup by going to *Settings > Chats > Chat Backup* and choosing *Backup to local storage*. 3. *Switch to GB WhatsApp:* - Uninstall official WhatsApp and reinstall GB WhatsApp. - GB WhatsApp should detect the local backup and prompt you to restore it. *3. Using Third-Party Recovery Tools:* If you didn't make any backups, you might try third-party recovery tools that can scan your device for deleted GB WhatsApp data. Some tools you might try are: - *Dr.Fone - Data Recovery* (by Wondershare) - *Tenorshare UltData* These tools often require a PC and may or may not be able to recover your data, depending on various factors like how much the data has been overwritten. *4. Check Cloud Storage:* If GB WhatsApp had an option to back up to any cloud service (like Dropbox or Google Drive) and you used that, check there for a backup. *Note:* Be careful when using modified apps like GB WhatsApp, as they can be less secure and not as reliable as the official version.
