Recovering deleted WhatsApp messages is possible in some situations. Here are a few methods you can try:
1. **Restore from Backup**:
– WhatsApp automatically backs up your chat history to your phone’s local storage or cloud services like Google Drive (Android) or iCloud (iOS) depending on your settings.
– Uninstall WhatsApp from your phone.
– Reinstall WhatsApp and verify your phone number.
– When prompted, tap “Restore” to restore your chat history from the backup.
2. **Recover from Local Storage**:
– Some Android phones store WhatsApp chat backups in the device’s internal storage.
– Navigate to the WhatsApp folder in your phone’s file manager.
– Look for a “databases” folder and check for backup files with names like msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt12.
– Rename the backup file you wish to restore to msgstore.db.crypt12.
– Uninstall WhatsApp, reinstall it, and follow the prompts to restore from the local backup.
3. **Using Third-Party Apps**:
– There are third-party apps available that claim to recover deleted WhatsApp messages. However, be cautious when using such apps and ensure they are reputable to avoid privacy and security risks
Remember that the effectiveness of these methods may vary depending on your device, backup settings, and the time that has passed since the messages were deleted. It’s also worth noting that WhatsApp end-to-end encryption ensures that even WhatsApp itself cannot access your messages once they are deleted
