    Having said that, it’s really shitty that they’ve removed local backups

    Every day I love Swiftbackup more, indeed I have been using this solution even for WhatsApp.

        And 95% of the time it decides that I should not restore my data because fuck the user?

        Never happened to me. 100% success rate.

        @Darken I remember I once had all my messages disappeared (because of something that I did). Luckily, WhatsApp already backed up my messages a couple of days before. So I simply uninstalled the app, then reinstalled it and selected the backup to restore. A few messages from my work group were gone forever, indeed - those sent after the backup was taken - but they weren’t an issue for me. Nothing important was sent in that time frame. With the backup I recovered pretty much more than 99% of the messages.
