I saw 2 backups but the Whatsapp file had 7 I think. Anyway, the reason it didn't restore was because I was not signed into the email attached to Whatsapp (I don't do email on my phone and it's a gmail account that is dedicated to Whatsapp). So I had several messages sent to me and all came...

Ok, I performed both of these. Now whatsapp is saying it cannot restore my chat backup form google drive. I copied my whatsapp folder to my computer so I have that. I also believe there is a local backup on my phone. I went to google drive and the file exists but whatsapp is not restoring it.

I have had Whatsapp on my phone for years and this problem suddenly popped up. I sent Whatsapp screen shots of all my notifications and settings and they have not provided a solution. I am missing text messages and Whatsapp calls because of this problem. I have the original Whatsapp.

Whenever I receive a new message on Whatsapp in a new conversation there is no sound or vibration notification. All I get is the pop-up. If my contact sends a 2nd message soon after then everything is normal, I then get all notifications. If I wait 5 minutes after ending that 1st conversation...
