If not, please read on solution 2.

Solution 1. Restore Android WhatsApp from Google Drive

WhatsApp will not save your daily data on its servers, so it can't help you restore WhatsApp to Android. However it allows you to back up your chat history and media to Google Drive by setting up chat backup on WhatsApp settings.

If you have back up your WhatsApp messages with Google Drive before, you can retrieve your deleted or lost data back via the backup copy. Please check on the guide below:

Note: You’d better disable WhatsApp auto backup feature on your phone after WhatsApp data was lost. Otherwise, your last backup file will be overwritten and what you deleted by mistake can not be extracted back from that backup any longer.

Step 1. Uninstall the WhatsApp on your device.
Step 2. Reinstall it and sign in your account.
Step 3. When there is a message prompt you to restore WhatsApp from backup, you just need to tap "Restore", and wait for it to finish the restoration.

Tips about WhatsApp Google Drive backup:
1. If you never backup before, you are not able to restore the data after you accidentally delete it.
2. Only allows the option to backup and restore for devices with the same Operating System.
3. It doesn’t allow you to recover the data selectively and you need to restore all the files inside the backup at once, even some of them are useless.
4. If you skip the restore step when you re-install WhatsApp, you could never restore it in this way.

In this way, if you fail to recover the WhatsApp messages with Google Drive, please continue to read and you are recommended to recover data with Android WhatsApp Recovery software.
