WhatsApp 2.21.10.16 not restoring local backup
WhatsApp 2.21.10.16 (released on 25/05/2021) does not restore from local backup. We're trying to understand if it's just a temporary issue.
In order to fix this:
- perform migration as usual using older WhatsApp 2.18.248, then uninstall it
- when requested to update WhatsApp, install pre-2.21.10.16 WhatsApp release 2.21.9.15 downloading here or from APKMirror. This is because Play Store provides latest version only
Next WhatsApp updates will come automatically through Google Play Store.
