Please please please 🙏 can someone help? (WhatsApp/ Google drive question)...

I lost my phone with a whole bunch of numbers essential for work.....

I have another phone and I got on Google drive hoping that the essential numbers would be saved on backup ..

However, despite being recently backup, WhatsApp, contacts and stuff like that are either not there, or when I click on them, nothing really happens....

Please can someone help? I'm thoroughly screwed ATM and I don't know what to do.

Do you have an ATT phone? Ask for them to ping it.
Do you have a Find My Phone app on the Phone?

Won't WhatsApp help you find it?

@Jm31xxx Call your Carrier and Ask.
They do it for the Police all the time,
can tell the last 3 cell towers that saw it while it was on.

On the new device and within the freshly installed what's app have you linked the
what's app new install to your Google account. If not try that and it should sync the data from your last sync on the old phone.

I think you'll need the same number to restore your backup, it should be automatic on Android if you sign in with all your previous credentials.
