If it is an iCloud backup, only one per device is stored so I think it unlikely you'd find something a month old unless you were using manual backups and hadn't backed up in a month.


You may be better off with a backup made to a computer as long as you did one for the time period you need.


In either case to recover the data you will have to restore your entire iPhone to the date when the backup was made, so make sure you make a more recent backup unless you want to keep going with things as they were a month ago.


I don't know what data from WhatsApp is stored on a phone itself vs. on WhatsApp's servers.
