WhatsApp is a simple way to keep in touch with friends and family.
The problem of accidentally deleting important messages can now be avoided with WhatsApp chat recovery on iOS and Android.
Although it is difficult to do wrong, sometimes WhatsApp users may delete one of their conversations. Although there are ways to recover messages from the Facebook-owned app, people may face problems depending on whether they have deleted or archived their messages.
To recover deleted WhatsApp messages, you need to enable chat backup in settings.
WhatsApp offers multiple backup frequencies under Auto Backup: Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Off.
And remember that WhatsApp keeps only the latest iOS backup file and the two most recent Android backup files.
This automatic daily backup makes it easy to recover messages immediately after deletion. Weekly Backup allows you to go back in time and recover deleted WhatsApp messages less than seven days ago without losing your last chat messages.
All you have to do is choose the frequency of automatic WhatsApp backup that suits your needs.
On iOS: Scroll up in the chat list to reveal archived chats. Tap it, then swipe left on the chat to restore it. And click on Unarchive.
On Android: Tap Archived Chats at the bottom of the chat list.
And tap and hold on the chat you want to restore instead of selecting the Unarchive icon.
And about how to recover deleted WhatsApp messages, just uninstall and re-download WhatsApp. When you reinstall the program, you will be prompted to restore the message history from the backup file.
Select Restore and everything will be restored from the last backup.
The method to recover deleted WhatsApp messages works on both Android and iOS, but it must be specified in the automatic backup frequency.
So, if the automatic backup frequency is set to daily, you can easily restore any deleted chats before the next backup.
Recovering deleted messages after performing a backup is a bit more difficult.
It depends on the automatic backup frequency selected and only works on Android devices.
Open File Explorer on your device and go to WhatsApp and Databases. and rename msgstore.db.crytp12 to msgstore-latest.db.crytp12.
If Google Drive backup is enabled, open Google Drive, click on Backups and delete the WhatsApp backup file.
Uninstall and re-download WhatsApp, then restore from backup if prompted. WhatsApp offers QR codes, animated stickers and more.
