How to Restore and Merge WhatsApp Backups on iPhone

 Q:"How do I restore multiple backups of whatsapp chats?"

"I have different / multiple what'sapp history Backups, for example (July, August, September, Oct, Nov)..etc both on iCloud and iTunes, let's say each restore process brings me different chat history, my question is, how can i MANUALLY RESTORE each backup or COMBINE these chat histories to have a complete whatsapp history? Or is there a third-party software can help with this, as i would like to RESTORE all data not only messages, Voice messages, Videos, Photos etc, using the same mobile phone, not transferring anything. Any idea or help will be appreciated."

A: "Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand you have a question about backups for WhatsApp. There's not a way to combine or selectively restore your Apple backups from iTunes or iCloud as you described, so your best bet would be to contact WhatsApp directly. "
