whatsapp restore stuck at 99% and rebooting in loop

Try restarting your device -- Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Shucks! What about this similar themed thread -- On my iPhone 4S, Whatsapp Chat Backup seems to have frozen at "Uploading : 16.8MB of 52.4MB (32%)?

Sorry I couldn't be or more help! 😟

Tried I did...failed I have! LOL

You're welcome.

Exactly the same thing happened to me, if you find a solution please tell me about it.

I'm also stuck with this problem. It's really infuriating as Whatsapp is my main means of communicating with people and now I can't use it.

Got the same problem. Stuck at 99 % for 2 days now via several Wi-Fi networks. Also turned off Wi-Fi so I could check in the iOS Settings if actual data is transferred while it is stuck at 99% - it isn't. No Updates for What's App available as well at this time.

i have this issue too, please guys if anyone knows the solution let me know.. i've been trying to solve it with too many ways that u cant imagine, and still stuck at 99% for days.

thank you so much.

Guys, as there are so many people with the same problem, it's probably the best to write the What's App support an e-mail. The more people tell them about the problem, the more they give attention to it - and hopefully solve it.

I have the same problem with a brand new 6S plus I just bought. Everything else finished restoring from Icloud except whatsapp which always get stock in "finishing up....99%"

Same problem.. I don't wanna lose any data, I tried so many ways but yet nothing worked.

waithin for a whatsapp update or maybe ios update..

Ok I am upgrading from Iphone 6 to Iphone 7 and I had this problem at first.

I solved it by doing a full chat (including video) back up to iCloud on my Iphone 6 (old phone) first.

Than install whatsapp on my Iphone 7 (new phone) than whatsapp restore from iCloud.

bam! Its all good!!! I hope this help
