Unable to restore WhatsApp chat I have followed all the possible ways to restore my WhatsApp chat, but I'm unable to do so.

I uninstalled and reinstalled WhatsApp three times and had my WhatsApp data in my SD card even after I moved it to my new phone. I'm unable to get my data back. I'm even unable to rename the backup files.

How do I restore the chats?
WhatsApp encrypted database needs same phone number to be decrypted.


Back up your chats on your old phone.
    Go to WhatsApp > Menu Button > Settings > Chat settings > Back up chats.
Transfer your External microSD card to your new phone if your WhatsApp/Database folder is located in your external microSD card.
    Please see below if your WhatsApp folder is located in your device's internal memory.
Install WhatsApp on your new phone.
You must have the same phone number in WhatsApp that you had when you backed up your chats.
Click Restore when prompted to restore your message history.


Note: You cannot restore chat history from any other phone type to Android, or from Android to another phone type.
