When you "delete" some data from your iPhone device, they don't actually get deleted/lost . Instead, they were marked for deletion, but in fact, they were hidden on iPhone internal memory. When you add new data ,they are truly deleted.

When you deactivated WhatsApp account on your iPhone, actually, the chat history is not deleted if you have backups on iCloud. You can recover chat history from iCloud by the following steps: first verify that an iCloud backup exists in WhatsApp Settings > Chats and Calls > Chat Backup. If you can see when the last backup was performed, delete and reinstall the app from the App Store. After verifying your phone number, follow the on-screen prompts to restore your chat history. The same iCloud backup requirements apply for iCloud restore. In addition, the phone number used for backing up and restoring must be the same. You cannot restore the chat history from another WhatsApp account. If you share an iCloud account, this will allow you to keep your backups separate.
If you don't want to take so much time to do the recovery job, one click to do all the job would be a perfect way. Check  the iMyfone iPhone Data Recovery tool which could make  WhatApp history recovery much easier. Just follow the steps, you can do the work by only several clicks.http://www.imyfone.com/iphone-data-recovery/

Two ways:
1.
Before attempting to restore messages
Current chat history will be lost upon restoration.
There are only up to 7 days worth of backup files.
Any new messages sent/received after a backup, and deleted before the next backup, cannot be restored.
If you run a manual backup, it will overwrite the most recent automatic backup file.
On newer devices, your WhatsApp/Databases folder is most likely located in your device's internal memory.
You must have the same phone number in WhatsApp that you had when you backed up your chats.
