The Android phone settings are linked to a Google account, causing data to be restored directly from Google instead of from local data when restoring.
So please kindly try resolution as below:
1.When prompted "Unable to import", please exit WhatsApp.
2.Go to phone settings - Manage accounts, and turn off cloud storage for all Google accounts.
3.Log in to WhatsApp and choose to restore data from local storage.
