My whatsapp restore has been saying Finishing Up... (99%) for hours, I have tried different devices and get the same thing. It's 131 MB, how can I fix this?
iPhone 6s, iOS 10.0.2
i got the same problem. seriously just wanna give up and start with no chat history.
then i saw paolo81 reply. i say why not try that one. so i do exactly like what he said,
1) close WA (while stuck at 99%)
2) open it again and skip the restore option
3) chat history successfully restored with pictures
but no luck. cannot choose skip after close the app. so i improvise,
1) close WA (while stuck at 99%)
2) turn off icloud drive
3) open it again, and got screen that say your backup might be in icloud,please turn on icloud bla bla bla..
and i just skip the restore option ,,and damnnnn
4) my chat history successfully restored with pictures
thanksss bro!!
i used the mail adress they gave on their website (support@whatsapp.com)
I have tried all these but still it stops at 99%... what to do if I don't want the backup now and want my Whatsapp to start.kindly help
100% thanks. Seems that new whatsapp backup is not able to restore on older version of whatsapp.
I've just seen this! This definitely works without losing any messages? There's some I need back but bordering not bothered!!
That actually worked!!!!!! Thank you so much!!! 4 months without Whatsapp?! Finally!! Thank you!!
Did you ever find a fix? I have the same issue and need to get it sorted.
See my previous post, just restore while connected to iTunes (with a cable).
