How to Restore WhatsApp Backup from msgstore
Restoring your WhatsApp backup from msgstore is simple! First, uninstall WhatsApp and then reinstall it. During setup, WhatsApp will prompt you to restore your chats and media from backup. Make sure to choose the option to restore from your local backup (msgstore) instead of a cloud backup, if that's where your backup is stored. And voila! Your messages should come back like magic.

Honestly, if you're struggling, just send the msgstore file to a techie friend. They'll have it sorted in no time!
Pro tip: Make sure your msgstore file is the latest one! It's usually named something like 'msgstore.db.crypt12'. Rename it to 'msgstore.db.crypt14' if needed based on the latest format. Happy restoring!
