ICloud backup of Watsapp

I restored a backup from my icloud onto my watsapp after my watsapp crashed. However, this backup did not include videos. I see the videos in my chats but they wont play.


When I went to chat backup on whatsapp I saw the backup there and then I ticked include videos. It showed that 6gb of videos need to be uploaded.


So I clicked backup now. And it seems that the videos have now disappeared. I see them in the chat but the wont play . they are blurry. the length of the video is there.


I was wondering if if I get a previous backup of my whatsapp from icloud ( not sure if that is possible) then restore it.

Go to chat backup and tick include videos. ( without clicking backup now) would it upload?


I really need the videos

iPhone X, iOS 15
