Please follow the below steps to restore your deleted chat from backup:

  1. Uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp.
  2. Open WhatsApp and verify your number.
  3. When prompted, tap RESTORE to restore your chats and media from Google Drive.
  4. After the restoration process is complete, tap NEXT. Your chats will be displayed once the initialization is complete.
  5. WhatsApp will begin restoring your media files after your chats are restored.

If you install WhatsApp without any prior backups from Google Drive, WhatsApp will automatically restore from your local backup file.

Can you help please

Unfortunately, you only recover the chat if it is stored either in local phone backup or in the cloud backup.

If you want to restore a local backup that isn't the most recent one, you'll need to do the following:

  1. Download a file manager app.
  2. In the file manager app, navigate to sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases. If your data isn't stored on the SD card, you might see "internal storage" or "main storage" instead of sdcard.
  3. Rename the backup file you want to restore from msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt12 to msgstore.db.crypt12. It's possible that an earlier backup might be on an earlier protocol, such as crypt9 or crypt10. Don't change the number of the crypt extension.
  4. Uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp.
  5. Tap RESTORE when prompted.

Hope it helps.
Kind Regards,

I am afraid your support has been useless and i have not been able to sort out my problem

Unfortunately, if you don't have any WhatsApp backup stored in your cloud or local device for that day then you will not be able to recover the chats.

Hope it helps.
Kind Regards,
