How to Easily Get Back Your Deleted WhatsApp Chat History?

Recovering your deleted WhatsApp chat History

ats can be simple ᅳ especially if you've backed them up, either on your phone or using the cloud. Here's how to do it:

Ø  Method 1: Recovering from Local Backup (Android)

 

1. **Check Your Local Backup:**

 

* Did you know? WhatsApp on Android makes a backup of your chats every day at 2 AM (your local time). It saves this on your phone's internal storage or SD card.

 

* Just navigate to `File Manager` \> `WhatsApp` \> `Databases`. Look for files that say something like `msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt12`. The date part shows when the backup was made.

 

2. **Restore the Backup:**

 

* First up, uninstall WhatsApp from your phone.

 

* Then, head over to the Play Store, reinstall WhatsApp, & verify your phone number.

 

* When you see the prompt, just tap `Restore` to bring back your chats from the latest backup.

Ø  Method 2: Recovering from Google Drive Backup (Android)

 

1. **Make Sure Google Drive Backup is On:**

 

* Open WhatsApp and go to `Settings` \> `Chats` \> `Chat backup`.

 

* Check if your Google account is there under `Google Drive settings`, and see if there's a backup ready for you.

 

2. **Restore the Backup:**

 

* Uninstall WhatsApp from your phone first.

 

* Reinstall it via the Play Store & verify your number.

 

* Follow the instructions on-screen to get back your chat history from Google Drive.

 

Ø  Method 3: Recovering from iCloud Backup (iOS)

 

1. **Check iCloud Backup:**

 

* On an iPhone, WhatsApp backs up using iCloud. So, ensure iCloud Backup is turned on by going to `Settings` \> `[your name]` \> `iCloud` \> `iCloud Backup`.

 

2. **Restore the Backup:**

 

* Uninstall WhatsApp from your iPhone.

 

* Reinstall it from the App Store and verify your phone number.

 

* Follow those easy on-screen instructions to restore chats from iCloud.

 
Ø  Important Notes:

 

* **Timing is Key:** When recovering, make sure you're restoring a backup that has those chats you really want back. If you've deleted something recently, the backup needs to be from before that!
