WhatsApp not prompting to restore from Google Drive backup Transferring WhatsApp from a Samsung S7 to a Samsung 10e.
Backedup to Google Drive as per instructions, 174mb of backup exists

Setup WhatsApp on the new phone (same number, SIM swapped over etc) and it doesn't prompt me to restore the backup.  

Backup exists, I can see details if I go to Settings>Chats>Chat Backup, but I can't see any way to make it use that backup.  (I'm assuming if I click Backup, it will backup current state, not restore??)

How do I get it to use the backup it knows exists?

Yes, don't tap backup. You will lose your entire backed up data. Also disable auto backup until the problem is solved.

Try reinstalling the app. This often helps.
