I accidentally deleted my whatsapp data from phone internal memory and when I tried to reinstall whatsapp its blank as I dont have gdrive backup, fortunately I copied my phone internal memory somewhat in my pc. In my pc I have these folders-
.Shared, .StickerThumbs, .Thumbs, .trash, Backups, Databases(4-6 crypt files ), Media(few folders like wallpaper status etc.)
now I want to know that if its possible to restore whatsapp as it is with chat and media ?
if yes how can I do that as where to copy these folders and data in internal memory
if any guide or anything of help is much appreciated
ps- using android 13 mobi- s21 fe

still searching for specific ones suited for my case
If you are using Android, newer versions like 10 and above
Then go to Android > Media > com.whatsapp > WhatsApp and paste these files.
If its Android 7 or less, then internal storage > WhatsApp > paste these files
And use the same mobile number and you should get a prompt to restore on validating your OTP.
thank you for the help
I am in search for these ans only as I searched and found that it is possible
I will search and see some videos more as I have only one chance to get it right
ps- I am on android 13
I still am a bit clueless how kukdukoo wanted to help based on it.
But on the Samsung devices (handfones, tablets) that i have seen..
that (whatsapp) folder needs to be put in the following path (assuming the software was not installed on flash media.. but was installed in internet memory itself.)
internal storage» Android» media» com.whatsapp» 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩 (the folder seen on your computer).
And again, i am clueless (as to) why people are mentioning "jail breaking" et al.
because.. unless i am totally confusing things here..
native 'file explorers' or even third party file managers (device data browsing softwares) DO let one access these folders, isn't it?
My whatsapp was deleted what to do help me

@wackophant explained the path on older Androids too.
I do see, that you have an 'iMobile' backup folder on your computer. So if it is related to iOS.. i hope that cross platform compatibility is there for such migration.
🙂Here's to everything working out fine.✨
thanks to everyone for helping me out
