iCloud backup not found by whatsapp Hi Community, Can anyone provide a solution to my issue that the apple support couldn’t find? I backed up the entire data in my iPhone including WhatsApp into iCloud by Apple ID/iCloud/iCloud backup On/iCloud Drive Green/WhatsApp green, then Backup Now. After successful backup iCloud showed “Backups” folder and the synced folders like photos, etc. correctly. Then I formatted the iPhone. After logging in to iCloud using Apple ID/password I downloaded WhatsApp from App Store. After successful verification of my phone number WhatsApp offered to restore WhatsApp chat history from iCloud backup but it said No Backup Found. How can I restore the already backed up WhatsApp history from iCloud storage? Thank you so much in advance. Best regards iphone user
