Op. What of Lumia to Android Both devices work quite differently, lumia backs up to one drive while Android backs up to Google drive and the encryption method used for both phones are slightly different so the Android phone may not recognize the local database file stored in the lumia's SD card |

NaijaTechGuy: Switching to a new phone gives you that happy and enthusiastic feeling until you remember your WhatsApp chats.
Normally there are actually two ways to reinstall WhatsApp without losing your chats -
Using a local backup Using Google Drive
Most tech savvy people would actually use the Google drive feature because it's easier but it doesn't guarantee you will get your last chats because WhatsApp automatically backs up chats by 2.am and if your data connection isn't turned on at that time, your chat backup would not be uploaded to Google Drive only the local backup would be kept and if you don't know how to restore it properly you will lose your chats So without further ado lets get started on how to restore your chats on a new phone using a local backup.
1. Install Xender On Both Phones Then Open Xender on both as well and connect the phones.
2.Go To File Manager > WhatsApp > Databases
3. Mark And Send The Databases Folder To The New Phone then close Xender
4.Install WhatsApp on the new phone but don't launch it yet (If you have already launched it long press the WhatsApp icon till an info logo (i) comes up then click on it or drag the icon towards it, this will vary depending on the launcher you are using. Once you do that click on the clear data option)
At this point you are done with the old device. Let's set it up on your new device
5. On the new device Go To Your File Manager > WhatsApp > Databases then delete the Databases Folder
6. Go To File Manager > Xender > Folder
7. Copy The Databases folder and go to the WhatsApp folder and paste it there
8. Launch WhatsApp and continue the installation process
9. WhatsApp will detect the backups them restore your chats for you
Note: If you have a memory card try the whole process within your memory card first. If it doesn't work for you then try with your phones inbuilt storage.

Ubty: Have and issue. My what'sapp database files is always to the tune of 135-240 Mb (only one of those files, and they accumulate). So I always need to delete them to have space on my phone. But what I see on other folks phones are just 2Mb or so. How can I resolve this? yes, set your whatsapp to only save chat and images only... I guess yours saved images and videos hence the large size. |

Am using it too what are the benefits of using Gbwhatsapp
The obvious ones are, You can download picture from your friend's stat You can extend your version length to about 7mins You can customise your WhatsApp by using different themes, where each themes comes with its personal feature. You can use two WhatsApp on it.
...This are just the obvious one. It has many superb features sha. infact any update on the normal WhatsApp would have been feature on GBwhatsapp before it release. |

asuustrike2009: cc:NaijaTechGuy how can I delete some irrelevant pictures on back up WhatsApp via google drive? I don't think that's possible. However if you restore your chats and you don't want pictures from a particular chat to be showing on your gallery, go to the person's profile and select Media Visibility and turn it off. This feature is available in the latest version of whatsapp |
