    Hi all

    hopefully someone can assist

    Mrs Cyrus is gone to a p30 pro from a p40 pro (lack of google services was the issue).

    i have a back up of her old whatsapp folder saved on my pc and transferred to the new phone, obviously given it was a p40 it didnt backup to google drive.

    i cannot for the life of me get the backup i have from 2 days ago to restore on her new phone, it just sees a backup from march and wants to restore it from google drive and wont see the local back ups. if i put it in airplane mode it finds it but once data goes back on same issue again.

    has anyone tried to do similar and has any way of doing this?

    there are apps that you can buy which will be my next port of call i guess.
