Okay, no problem. That was worth a shot
I've never actually played any Final Fantasy game yet. It'd be cool if Final Fantasy I-VI is still available for entry!
Maybe that's it. My dad's current phone does run an old Android version, so that might be why local backup restore worked. The WhatsApp version was up to date though. I can confirm local backups work on Android 8 and Android 11.
So did I, about 2 weeks ago, for my dad. It worked. It's unlikely that anything changed in a week
They do, but they don't explicitly allow restoring from local backups directly within the app anymore. However, if you manually move the backups to a new phone or whatever and then fresh install WhatsApp on that phone, you will be prompted to restore messages from the local backup that's present.
He's just edgy, not an actual Nazi or racist or anything.
I don't try to mess with their cloud backup scheme, I import the local backups manually instead. Their cloud backup is so slow and their chat transfer feature is so buggy.
I hate these types of ads too, and they're so common.
Also there are some ads which make the normal 5sec skippable video ads more like 30sec skippable ads. They're usually game ads, where they show you a skippable ad after 5 seconds, then they make you play a mini-game of sorts for 10+ seconds and then it shows you a splash screen with the name of the game which you're only able to skip after 5 seconds. Wastes so much time.

That just goes to show you the state of the game
