Make sure you have enabled installing from unknown sources, as it is standard for apps not downloaded via Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

Recover backup: after verification now GB WhatsApp will pick the local backup that you have created at step 1. It will enquire if you would want to restore your chat history and files. Like before, click on it and consequently click on restore which will start the restoring process. This can take a while based on the size of your backup.
