Restoring a GBWhatsApp backup depends on how you created the backup and whether you’re moving to GBWhatsApp again or switching to official WhatsApp. Here’s how to do it:

Restoring GBWhatsApp Backup to GBWhatsApp

If you’re reinstalling GBWhatsApp and want to restore a backup:

  1. Find the Backup File
    • Open your file manager.
    • Navigate to: Internal Storage / GBWhatsApp / Databases
    • Look for a file like:
      • msgstore.db.crypt12 (latest backup)
      • msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt12 (older backups)
  2. Reinstall GBWhatsApp
    • Download the same or a newer version of GBWhatsApp.
    • Install it but don’t open it yet.
  3. Move Backup File
    • If you had to reset your phone, move the backup file back to: Internal Storage / GBWhatsApp / Databases.
  4. Restore Backup
    • Open GBWhatsApp and verify your phone number.
    • It should detect the backup and ask if you want to restore it.
    • Tap Restore and wait for the process to finish.

Restoring GBWhatsApp Backup to Official WhatsApp

If you’re switching from GBWhatsApp to Official WhatsApp, follow these steps:

  1. Find and Rename the Backup File
    • Go to: Internal Storage / GBWhatsApp / Databases
    • Rename msgstore.db.crypt12 → msgstore.db.crypt14 (latest WhatsApp format).
  2. Move Backup to WhatsApp Folder
    • Copy the renamed backup to: Internal Storage / WhatsApp / Databases
  3. Uninstall GBWhatsApp & Install Official WhatsApp
    • Delete GBWhatsApp to avoid conflicts.
    • Install the latest version of WhatsApp from the Google Play Store.
  4. Restore Chat Backup
    • Open WhatsApp and verify your phone number.
    • It should detect the backup and ask to restore it.
    • Tap Restore and wait for the process to finish.

If Backup Isn’t Detected

  • Make sure Google Drive backup is OFF (GBWhatsApp doesn’t support it).
