Recently formatted my phone. Reinstalled whatsapp n the imported the backup.
It seems very slow and buggy. After 1-3 mins of usage, the app starts acting up and after a minute or so autocloses.

Has anyone experienced the same?

I’m planning on reinstalling to check whether that fixes the issue. Asking here to see if anyone has experienced something similar and/or has resolved it.

I don’t try to mess with their cloud backup scheme, I import the local backups manually instead. Their cloud backup is so slow and their chat transfer feature is so buggy.

How did you use it? They no longer allow restoring from local backup AFAIK?

Did it almost 2 weeks ago.

Automatic local backup did not happen, so I used Settings -> Chat -> Chat Backup -> Backup now

I don’t have a google account selected in the backup options and the local backup was created.

I’ve been thinking about reinstalling whatsapp once more, but now even when I click it, it’s not backing up.
So maybe it’s not allowed now

They do, but they don’t explicitly allow restoring from local backups directly within the app anymore. However, if you manually move the backups to a new phone or whatever and then fresh install WhatsApp on that phone, you will be prompted to restore messages from the local backup that’s present.

No it does not do it now. Only option is cloud restore. I have done it last week.
