I got this error while executing I tried to manually install the legacy app on pixel but manually also got the error

app not installed as app isnt compatible with you phone

By any chance is there a more recent app that is still legacy but could work?

Starting from version 2.11.448 (which should be the next version of 2.11.431), they added the flag that disallows users from doing ADB backup.

I have an idea for you but only a brief test was done.

  1. Do a WhatsApp backup and uninstall WhatsApp.
  2. Download the latest (or the oldest version that works on your device) WhatsApp APK file.
  3. Decompile and re-compile it with apktool, then sign the APK yourself.
  4. Install the re-compiled APK and restore the WhatsApp backup.
  5. Modify the AndroidManifest.xml to allow ADB backup. Something like: 
    <application android:allowBackup="true" android:appComponentFactory="androidx.core.app.CoreComponentFactory"  android:extractNativeLibs="true" android:fullBackupContent="true" android:fullBackupOnly="false" android:hardwareAccelerated="@bool/APKTOOL_DUMMYVAL_0x7f050008" android:hasFragileUserData="false" android:icon="@mipmap/icon" android:label="@string/APKTOOL_DUMMYVAL_0x7f121ec3" android:name="com.whatsapp.AppShell" android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/APKTOOL_DUMMYVAL_0x7f150006" android:preserveLegacyExternalStorage="true" android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" android:restoreAnyVersion="true" android:supportsRtl="true" android:theme="@style/APKTOOL_DUMMYVAL_0x7f130301" android:vmSafeMode="@bool/APKTOOL_DUMMYVAL_0x7f050003">
  6. Compile the modified APK and sign it with the same key you previously used.
  7. Install the modified APK: 
    adb shell pm uninstall -k com.whatsapp
adb install -r -d ModifiedWhatsApp.apk
