WhatsApp backed up data gets deleted with this step

I have my mobile backup + WhatsApp backup enabled and I have subscription of icloud as well.

Things went well untill yesterday

  1. I deleted whatsapp from my mobile.
  2. Installed whatsapp again then it asked to restore data and I selected yes.
  3. During restore process it allowed to click on backup and I clicked
  4. All my whatsapp non-text data got deleted as by this time only texts were imported and media files were yet to be downloaded.

I lost data from 2019. I had purchased I cloud service mainly for media.

Or better yet, you should ask the developer's of WhatsApp app as they keep their own data.

Hope this helps.
