Sometimes we find a strange “this message has been deleted”. It could be a text, a video or a photo. It may be nothing or it may be something important. Anyway, below we will tell you step by step how you can recover deleted WhatsApp photos, videos and messages by your interlocutor.
How to recover deleted photos on WhatsApp
First of all we will start with the steps you can follow to recover deleted photos from WhatsApp.
Look in the folder where WhatsApp is downloaded
The first thing you should do before a deleted photo is to go to the folder in which WhatsApp saves by default the photos that have been sent to you.
To start searching, go to the Gallery application on your phone and search for an album called WhatsApp Images, the tailor’s box where all the photos you send and receive in the application go.
Use WhatsApp web to recover deleted photos
The easiest way to recover deleted photos, both for Android and iOS, is through the desktop version of the messaging network, WhatsApp Web. The key is that the messaging network see a copy of the conversations on their servers, photos included.
Open the application, click on Settings or on the three dots that appear in the upper right and click WhatsApp Web and hit the plus icon to scan.
Find the conversation where you suspect the photos you want to recover were and examine it to find the specific message. If you remember what the conversation of that day was about, try searching by words by pressing the magnifying glass icon, example: Christmas dinner, dinner, Christmas Eve …
Find deleted photos from Backups
The following method is somewhat more tedious and may lead to the partial loss of the most current WhatsApp conversations. This consists of restoring a WhatsApp backup on your mobile. The indispensable requirement is that you realized you needed the photos hours after deleting them, if several days have passed it is possible that the application has updated your backup copy, including deleting these images.
Apps to recover deleted WhatsApp conversations
WhatsApp, by itself, does not allow you to recover deleted messages or conversations. When the sender deletes the sent message, it will disappear from all mobiles, although this may be reversible. The simplest thing is, if you are Android users, through an app. The most used are WhatsRemoved + and WAMR, both are in Play Store and its operation is similar, they record the text of the notifications received on your mobile.
You will have observed that every time they send you a WhatsApp message, a notification appears with the text, this is the key to hunt down deleted messages, these applications save all the notifications that come in from WhatsApp.
However, just as you violate the privacy of the person who decided to delete the message, these applications will do so with yours by accessing personal data, contacts and other information on the phone.
In the case of WhatsRemoved+, record all the notifications you receive from WhatsApp and from other messaging apps whenever they generate a notification, so if you just have WhatsApp open in the conversation in which the message has been deleted, this will not be possible. WAMR is somewhat more intuitive to use and also allows you to retrieve multimedia content.
Of course, neither of these two apps will be able to recover messages deleted before installation.
