WhatsApp is a messaging app that has taken the world by storm, boasting a large and engaged user base with over a billion active users. One of the service's key features is its ability to back up your messages to its servers. If you are using an iPhone, chances are you've already backed up WhatsApp chats to iCloud, which usually happens by default.
Unluckily, data might get lost on our iPhones, leaving us with the only option of restoring them from iCloud. This guide will show you superb ways to achieve that. So let's dig deeper into how you can restore WhatsApp from iCloud.
The good thing about WhatsApp is that it saves chat history in iCloud for iOS users. You can access or restore the chat history using your iOS devices easily. By the way, it's the same as restoring chats from Google or iCloud Drive. Before restoring your data, ensure you've signed in to your account with the same Apple ID on both iPhones. Note that this technique needs you to delete all data on receiving the iPhone first.
Do this to recover WhatsApp chats on your iPhone using the iCloud backup:
Step 1: Connect your iPhone to the Wi-Fi network and proceed to Settings, select iCloud, then click on the Backup button. Next, switch on iCloud Backup and select the Back Up Now option. Wait for the backup to finish.
Step 2: From there, navigate to Settings on the new iPhone, click General > Reset. Click on Erase All Content and Settings, then set up your device with Setup Assistant.
Step 3: Click the Restore from an iCloud Backup option in the Apps & Data Screen. Once done, log into iCloud and go on to select a backup. Ensure you choose the right one containing all data you want to recover.

iCloud Drive is a cloud storage service integrated with iCloud. You can use it to sync and store all of your files, folders and documents securely and access them from any of your devices, whether it is iPhone or Mac. Normally, in WhatsApp settings, you'll find a Chat Backup option that can help you save your WhatsApp files, including texts and media files, to iCloud Drive.
You can back up the files using your old iPhone and then restore the chats on a new one. But ensure you turn on the iCloud Drive option on both devices before you begin.
Here's what you need to do to restore WhatsApp chat history on your iPhone via iCloud Drive:
Step 1: Navigate to Settings on your old iPhone after connecting it to Wi-Fi. Select iCloud, and then switch on iCloud Drive.
Step 2: Go to WhatsApp, open it and look for the Settings option. After locating it, click on it and proceed to click on Chats, then choose the Chat Backup option and tap on Back Up Now, and wait till the backup finishes.
Step 3: Take your new iPhone and connect it to the Wi-Fi network and switch on iCloud Drive. Install WhatsApp on the device and sign into the account with the same number used on the old iPhone.
Step 4: The application will ask to restore the chat history from iCloud. Tap on the option for Restore Chat History. Once the process finishes, you may check WhatsApp chats on the new iPhone.
