Don't think that gms is an option at the moment, even if downgrading.

Yep you are right, they blocked it as well. No way to install GMS at the moment. 21th of September 2020

Yep, unlocked bootloader is the only viable option for current devices.
Hi,
Is anyone able to use whatsapp without the Google services ? I did a local backup on my samsung s7 duo then move the folder to the p40 pro, but when restoring it told me there is an error and I got the chat history from 1 month ago :crying:
What about allowing root? I had a Meizu phone time ago and it allowed to be root in the settings.Yep, unlocked bootloader is the only viable option for current devices.
Hi,Had the same issue, before running whatsapp for the first time (you will have to uninstall it again) you need to go to Settings>Apps>Whatsapp>Permissions and change storage to Allow otherwise it can't write the database back to the storage directory.
Hi,
Just to be sure I fully understood the different steps to perform, I must do the following ?
1. Go to Settings>Apps>Whatsapp>Permissions and change storage to Allow
2. Uninstall WhatsApp
3. Move the last local backup to the folder Whatsapp/Databases
4. Install again WhatsApp (whatever the version?)
5. Do I have to change again the permissions and change the storage to allow ?
6. Open WhatsApp, which will do the restore with the last local backup
In the past I always used to restore WhatsApp backups by doing these steps:
-Take your WhatsApp folder from your last phone
-Paste it to your root folder of the new device
-Install whatsapp
Configure it and it will restore the backup on initial run
Dunno if this has not changed over time, but I never had any problems with that.

Mine are stored in drive as well, but if you take a look inside the WhatsApp folder on your phone, you will noticd that it also keeps a local backup over there, messages and chatSame here, the main difference for me is that the backups are stored on google drive not internal storage. Without GMS there's no way of getting them back. Anyway, I've had enough of the P40 Pro, I can do without Google, but the apps I use need GMS to run leaving me with a barely usable phone so am sticking with my P30 Pro for the time being.
Thanks a lot : it has worked for me.The issue arose because I transferred whatsapp via phone clone. So to fix it I did this.
1 Uninstall Whatsapp (it will ask if you want delete the data, obviously say no)
2 Download the apk from whatsapp home page
3 Reinstall
4 Go to settings and change Storage Permissions to allow
5 Run whatsapp and set up
6 Restore from local backup
Those are the steps that I used and it worked fine.
Noso is this the end? no more google? will there be no other option to log in?
I've download every thing from playstore and I have until now no problems with Netflix etc.thank you! also, did the apps come from the playstore or some apps, like netflix, had to be sideloaded?
