It didn't work. Please help me. I was using my whatapp on my pc while my phone was in for repairs, and signed in on another device. When I signed back onto my phone all my previous messages say "waiting for this message, it may take a while. "

I figured it out! OK, after uninstalling app, reinstall, when you open and put in your phone number you'll be asked if you want to give access to your photos and videos, say YES, this includes your files, which includes your google drive backup folders, which has your WhatsApp backup in it. If you say no to this it won't find the file and you'll need to uninstall and reinstall the app again. Done
Side note: You can change this permission in the permissions settings on your phone later if you don't want WhatsApp having access to your photos and videos, but for the initial install this needs to be enabled.

How can I do by using the locally stored data?

It did not work for me either. Whatsapp says that either this is because the sender is using an older version of whatsapp or that the sender hasn't recently opened whatsapp or interacted with the recipient. I can say this isn't the case for example with a specific chat which is with another number which I own - it uses the latest whatsapp version and I have also opened it recently and interacted with my other whatsapp account - still the warnings remain there.
