How to Restore Whatsapp from iCloud on iPad in 3 Ways

I usually chat with my friends via WhatsApp Web on my iPad. The other day when I open the WhatsApp Web, I found all conversations disappeared from my iPad. How to restore Whatsapp chat on iPad?

Connecting over one billion active users around the world every day, WhatsApp is an incredibly popular cross-platform application used for communication between smartphones. It lets you free send messages, pictures, audio files and video messages, over Wi-Fi or 4G.

We all know that the app is only available for mobile phones and there isn't one for iPad or tablets as of now. Still, that hasn't stopped iPad users from finding ways on how to use this application on iPad.

But WhatsApp on iPad cannot get away from data loss either, even worse, it is riskier because iPad uses the WhatsApp web version.

Luckily,

Both iPad and WhatsApp itself provide the feature to back up your data in WhatsApp, which gives you a chance to restore your WhatsApp messages anytime and anywhere.

Here, I'd like to share 3 ways for WhatsApp message recovery.
