Whatsapp restore questions?

Hello,

I have read these 2 links for whatsapp backup restore chat history info but I still have some questions
https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/android/20887921/
https://support.google.com/drive/thread/2246683?hl=en

Q1. How can I increase the number of whatsapp local backups to 90 days in my android phone?

Q2. How can I increase the number of whatsapp google drive backups to 90 days?

Q3. By default whatsapp will store seven days worth of local backup files and store one day whataspp latest backup in google drive. Is there any way that I can restore whatsapp backup that is more than seven days ago?

Q4. Is there any way that I can read or view whatsapp backup chat without restoring?

Q5. Is there any way that I can restore a deleted message if there is no backup?

Thanks.

I doubt that the first 2 are possible. I'm sure you'd need to modify the android app for the first, the second may depend on what deal WhatsApp have with Google or may be internal to WhatsApp's systems. Either way I can't see how they'll have left something accessible to the user.

For Q3 I expect that as long as you copy your older backup somewhere safe yourself you can just copy it back into place and restore. I know my brother had to do something similar restoring to a new phone, but as it wasn't me did it I don't recall all details.

Q4 I don't know.

Q5 the answer is almost certainly no, unless you can get the other party to send it to you. Restoring deleted files on Android is a mug's game, and "end to end encryption" means WhatsApp don't keep a backup for you.
