WhatsApp states that I have end to end back up encryption activated so I cannot download my backup from iCloud I have my iPhone set up for iCloud back ups and WhatsApp is asking for a password or 64 digit encryption key (that I dont have) in order to restore my WhatsApp chats. It is clear from searching this community and online that I am not the first person to experience this issue. Wondering if there are any work arounds that can be shared? I am looking for some sort of iCloud related tip or work around as the WhatsApp app says that they will delete my data if my next password attempt is incorrect. Can they do that as the 7+GB are stored on my iCloud, and I simply need to match the password or encryption key to "unlock it". PLEASE do not suggest "ask WhatsApp" because they do not reply to inquires.

Can Apple Restore iCloud Drive to a Previous Date? (WhatsApp Backup Overwritten) Dear Apple Community, On April 13, 2025, my iPhone encountered an issue during a routine iOS update, which resulted in a full device restore. During setup, I mistakenly skipped the WhatsApp restore prompt because I believed I had lost my end-to-end encryption key. I later realized that I did in fact have the key saved. However, by that time, WhatsApp had already created a new backup, which permanently overwrote the original encrypted backup stored in iCloud Drive. I am not asking for decryption assistance — I have the encryption key. What I am trying to understand is: Does Apple have the ability to restore iCloud Drive (not iCloud Backup) to a previous state — specifically to how it was before April 13? I know iCloud Drive does not offer manual versioning or file history on the user side, but I’m asking whether Apple internally retains snapshots of Drive containers (such as WhatsApp’s) that can be recovered in special cases. If anyone has experience with this kind of data recovery, or insight into how Apple may handle it internally, I would truly appreciate any information. Thank you.

Hello Salam_salam,

Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

We found this from WhatsApp: How to restore your chat history

It looks like the prompts are requesting to enter your password or encryption key.

If you are unable to provide your password or encryption key, we would recommend reaching out to WhatsApp directly.

You can contact them using this page: How to contact an app developer

Hopefully this helps.

Cheers!
