These are the simple steps to follow to recover accidentally deleted messages on WhatsApp: The procedure to follow
It can be frustrating for the user Whatsappfail to recover the messages deleted by mistake on the messaging app. This app has now become an integral part of the normal personal and professional communication of all of us. However, it often happens that you accidentally delete important messages or entire conversations. In this guide we will show our readers some methodologies that can be applied to recover accidentally deleted messages.
Recover messages on Android devices
One of the most effective systems to recover deleted messages on WhatsApp Android is to use Google Drive. For Android devices, WhatsApp offers a handy feature that allows you to back up your chats to Google Drive and recover them later when you reinstall the app.
To do this you need to open WhatsApp, click on the three dots at the top right and select Settings. Then we go to Chat Settings and then, scroll down and select Chat backup. We always check the date and time of the last backup. At this point you need to uninstall WhatsApp from your phone and reinstall it from the Google Play Store.
We open WhatsApp and verify the phone number and follow the instructions displayed on the screen. When prompted, tap on Restore to restore chats and media from Google Drive.
The procedure to follow on iPhone
To recover deleted messages on WhatsApp from iPhone we can instead use iCloud. For iPhone, WhatsApp allows you to back up chats to iCloud and restore them later when reinstalling the app. However, you need to manually back up your WhatsApp chats to iCloud regularly.
Before carrying out this procedure we will need to make sure we have an iCloud backup that we want to restore. We can verify this through the following path: WhatsApp > Settings > Chats > Chat backup. We never tap Back up now otherwise the current chats will overwrite the previous backup and we will not be able to restore the deleted messages. Then we proceed by uninstalling WhatsApp from our iPhone. We long press the WhatsApp icon on the home screen and select Remove app. Next, we launch the App Store and reinstall WhatsApp.
After installation, we open WhatsApp, verify our phone number and follow the instructions displayed on the screen. When prompted, tap Restore chat history to restore chats and media from the iCloud backup. Once the restore is complete, we press the Next button and the one at the top right and complete the account setup. These are two very simple procedures to follow that will allow us to be able to recover at any time those chats that we have deleted by mistake or to which we want to access again to check something that intrigues us or that interests us.
