WhatsApp photos recovery

Hey guys, two years ago, I got an iPhone 7 and I made sure I backed it up esp my whatsapp to my iCloud before I changed to another one which was Xs max. I did restore for my WhatsApp on this xs max but I my chats came back with pictures not visible but showing question marks. Now I don't know what could have led to that but I recently changed to an iPhone 12 and I would love to know if the data I can restore on my WhatsApp on this new phone will come from iPhone 7 which was my first iPhone or it will come from the xs max ? I really need to track down a photo from my iPhone 7 WhatsApp chat

iPhone 12

Okay, thanks but there was never an option for back up media



It has always been back up chats (contains both chat and pictures and documents) and then back up video


Just this two options are available on WhatsApp on iPhones and I made sure I backed up chats
