My whatsapp restore stuck on Finishing Up... (99%)

bro , u r right but whenever u get the solunion please give me the contact details of u so can i will be in touch with u and we can chat on that and hopefully find any solution of this problem , if u use insta please send me a message on "ridermontybarun" that was my username of insta, because I can't use Whatsapp becuse I don't wanna skip the restore , u know that we have to get that data at any cost that is very precious for me , and I want my data back , and also my review is not posting on AppStore I don't know why , but neither WhatsApp is trustable nor apple both *****

I am also having the same problem and have not been able to access Whatsapp for 10 days now. I can see my whatsapp data is stored under iCloud however it is stuck restoring at 99%. I do not want to lose my chat history. I have tried so many things and have found no solution. Anyone know what I should do?

NO one cares, we can't do anything in this , apple and Whatsapp both are ignoring us , after all they are not posting ou reviews , they also don't have any answers or solution to this problem, they are madarchod , i wish they will become helpless in future like us

I contacted Apple Yesterday. It seems WhatsApp is having troubles connecting to the iCloud Servers and viceversa. They are working on a fix apparently. I will be notified once it has been resolved. I think I am going to wait it out until they fix the issue, and restore my backup. Will post here soon as i get an update from the Apple Team.

i had the same problem (iphone 6, ios 10.0.2, whatsapp 2.16.11), tried everything i found on the internet but nothing worked. i contacted whatsapp support a few days ago and today i received a mail telling me that they've released a new version (2.16.12) and asked me to try again. i deleted the app, installed the latest version, tried to restore (took a while, be patient) and IT WORKED! hope it works for you guys as well, good luck!

Hey, I checked the AppStore like you said. And there was an update to whatsapp. Tried reinstalling the app. Ran the restore. It ran for a few minutes. and entered the optimizing whatsapp page and again showed me the screen Whatsapp had trouble reading my chat history with a 'Begin Recovery' button. I click on that, its the same circle. It says theres a backup of 1.55 GB found on iCloud and theres a restore button. Yet again it gets back to the Begin Recovery Page.

I am helpless.

Problem finally solved. After 2 weeks of being whatsapp-less, contacting multiple people at both Apple and Whatsapp and considering whether to just give up and forget about the chat history, Whatsapp finally released an update and after updating I had all my chat history including all the messages I've missed in the last 2 weeks. I hope you're all able to do the same🙂

Just sorted the same problem on my phone as well, but cured it. I fixed my problem of Whatsapp being stuck on finishing 99% by deleting the app all together and re downloading and installing the app again, after signing in again I still got the icloud option, on downloading all my messages from the cloud it performed as it should and went straight through the restore including the 99% finishing. All working now, and I expect the cause was an older copy of Whatsapp being stored on icloud, and when I had to do a phone restore because of the apple problem of being stuck on the apple logo loop, which also ended up as being due to an after market screen being fitted, and was sorted by disconnecting the battery and removing the screen, connecting to comp and doing an update/restore from itunes. (using an old cracked but working screen helped). I hope this info might help some of you out there.

Hi All,

after struggling with this for a day:

1. delete the app from your phone

2. connect the phone to your computer and open iTunes

3. Download and install the app with iTunes

4. run WhatsApp while still connected to your computer and iTunes running.

5. choose restore in WhatsApp and the restore finishes in a couple of seconds...

don't know whats the logic behind this restore from iCloud while connected to the computer... but it works (for me at least...)

hope it will help someone.

The way I got past this problem was to delete the whatsapp by holding finger on icon and tap the cross, then download it again from itunes then restore. and it worked fine for me with all my details etc. restored.

Got the same problem. Unfortunately the What's App Support is not known for being very communicative.

I
