You regret seeing deleted messages in one or more WhatsApp conversations ? For a large number of versions now, the messaging application allows you to delete messages for everyone, no&# 8217;any deadline. Even entire conversations.
In certain cases such as professional use, these deletions can cause the loss of particularly important data, which is difficult to recover – by means other than the actual recovery of these messages. However, WhatsApp does not allow, by design, to recover deleted messages and conversations directly in the application.

However, there is a trick, which works on both iPhones and Android smartphones. Indeed, if you have activated backups (locally, or in the cloud) and luckily the last backup of WhatsApp conversations took place before the deletion of the messages and conversations concerned, you can de facto recover everything that comes from ;#8217;be deleted.
Useful in certain cases, this functionality however has the additional consequence of slightly reducing the impact of deletions for everyone. A point to always take into account – who should always urge WhatsApp users to be careful when sharing anything, whether it's a message or other sensitive content
In addition to your account, all those of the participants also potentially make these automatic backups – which can allow them with enough motivation to retrieve any message that you regret having transmitted… Let's qualify a little, however: because as you will see, the procedure is still a little restrictive.
On iPhone, you should know that, by default, the application saves conversations on iCloud on a daily basis. Backups can be quite heavy. Which means that for backups to work normally you generally need to have previously taken out an iCloud subscription – since when your free quota is full, nothing is recorded there.

If this prerequisite is met, here are the steps to recover recently deleted messages and conversations on WhatsApp. First of all, check that the last update is before the actual deletion of the messages (recovering messages and content that are too old is generally impossible for this reason):
< li>In the bottom bar, go to:Settings.
!!! DO NOT touch “Save now” if you would like a chance to recover your conversations !!!
The rest is very simple, although’ ;a little restrictive – note that you will, in the process, lose all messages after the backup:
On Android the procedure is a little similar, and is based on backups on Google Drive. Again, it's best to be a subscriber, as cloud backups will stop being automatic if space is full. However, even in this case, you can still try your luck, as you will see, via the backups that WhatsApp performs locally, concurrently.
Check that the date of the last backup Google Drive is older than the messages and conversations to be recovered (if this is not the case, skip the next part until #8217 ;to the part “Alternative – recover a local save” :
!!! Again, DO NOT touch “Save now” if you want a chance to recover your conversations via Google Drive!!!
If the backup is too recent, it is possible that a local backup will do the job better. However, some instructions, including paths, may differ on your device. In this case, we advise you to browse your storage space in search of a similar path, elsewhere in the smartphone's memory:
The rest is the same:
That's all for this tutorial, we hope it was useful to you.
