How can I get WhatsApp deleted messages? This is a common question among WhatsApp users who have accidentally deleted important messages or want to recover deleted messages for various reasons. In this article, we will explore different methods to help you retrieve deleted WhatsApp messages on both Android and iOS devices.

Firstly, it is important to note that WhatsApp does not provide a built-in feature to recover deleted messages. However, there are several ways to attempt to retrieve deleted messages, depending on the circumstances. Let’s discuss some of the most effective methods.

1. Backup and Restore

One of the simplest ways to recover deleted WhatsApp messages is by using the built-in backup and restore feature. If you have enabled WhatsApp backup on Google Drive (for Android) or iCloud (for iOS), you can restore your messages from the last backup.

For Android users:

1. Open WhatsApp and go to the Settings menu.
2. Select Chats.
3. Tap Chat backup.
4. Tap Back up to Google Drive.
5. Make sure that the backup is enabled and set to automatic.
6. Connect your device to a stable internet connection.
7. When prompted, tap Restore to retrieve your deleted messages.

For iOS users:

1. Open WhatsApp and go to the Settings menu.
2. Select Chats.
3. Tap Chat backup.
4. Tap Back up to iCloud.
5. Make sure that the backup is enabled and set to automatic.
6. Connect your device to a stable internet connection.
7. When prompted, tap Restore to retrieve your deleted messages.

2. Third-party apps

There are several third-party apps available that claim to help you recover deleted WhatsApp messages. These apps often use various techniques to scan your device’s storage and retrieve deleted messages. However, it is important to be cautious when using these apps, as some may be malicious or not reliable.

One popular third-party app for Android is “WhatsApp Recovery.” To use this app:

1. Download and install the WhatsApp Recovery app from the Google Play Store.
2. Open the app and grant the necessary permissions.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to scan your device’s storage for deleted WhatsApp messages.
4. Preview and select the messages you want to recover.
5. Save the recovered messages to your device or cloud storage.

For iOS users, there are limited options for third-party apps due to Apple’s strict app store policies. However, you can try using “iMyFone D-Back” or “Dr.Fone” to recover deleted WhatsApp messages.

3. Local backup

In some cases, you may have manually created a local backup of your WhatsApp messages before deleting them. If you have such a backup, you can restore your messages from the local backup file.

For Android users:

1. Connect your Android device to your computer.
2. Copy the WhatsApp folder to your computer.
3. Open the WhatsApp folder and locate the “msgstore.db” file.
4. Copy the “msgstore.db” file to your computer.
5. Open WhatsApp on your computer and follow the on-screen instructions to restore the messages.

For iOS users:

1. Connect your iOS device to your computer.
2. Open iTunes and select your device.
3. Go to the Backup section and select the latest backup.
4. Right-click on the backup and select “Extract.” This will create a folder containing the backup files.
5. Open the WhatsApp folder and locate the “msgstore.db” file.
6. Copy the “msgstore.db” file to your computer.
7. Open WhatsApp on your computer and follow the on-screen instructions to restore the messages.

In conclusion, while there is no guaranteed method to recover deleted WhatsApp messages, these methods can help you in most cases. Remember to be cautious when using third-party apps and always backup your WhatsApp messages regularly to avoid losing important data in the future.
