Had the same problem. We made many tries with restoring from the iCloud (always stuck at 99%) and from the backup on the Mac.
After many tries we have the problem solved now. 🙂
Both iPhones had the same name.
I renamed both of them (iPhone settings/General/About/Name).
Deleted the WhatsApp App on the new iPhone.
Then made a backup of the old iPhone to a Mac (and to iCloud) with iTunes.
On the new iPhone: backup restored from the Mac with iTunes.
I don't know which step was essential. But with this sequence it worked out fine with our iPhone SE / iOS 10.
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).
