To restore WhatsApp chats on iPhone without iCloud backup, use a backup from another cloud service or a local backup. First, ensure WhatsApp is installed on your iPhone. If you've used services like Google Drive or have a local backup (e.g., on a computer), transfer this backup to your new device. Install and open WhatsApp, then follow prompts to restore your chat history. Note: This method requires previous preparation, as WhatsApp only officially supports iCloud for backups on iPhones.
