Before WhatsApp, I
cannot think of any app which have served so many mobile users across the
planet who could text and send files to each other with so much of ease. Now we
have WhatsApp available for Android, iOS and Windows Mobile platforms, which
allows you to stay in touch with almost all your friends without paying
anything to your service provider (assuming, most of your friends own a Smartphone).
One of the biggest privilege that we
need from any messaging or emailing service is whether it could let you recover
any of your deleted messages. And the fact that WhatsApp lets you recover
deleted messages, images and videos that have been shared does make it a pretty
solid app (in any case it is).
I am sure that most of the WhatsApp users are
not aware of the fact that this messaging service takes backup of all the
shared stuff every 24 hours and it keeps the backup files intact for last 7
days. Yes, it’s true. And there is a way which would let you use those backup
files to restore things.
So, below are the ways to do it.
Ways To Recover Deleted Messages On WhatsApp
Method 1
This is a simple and pretty straight forward
way to restore deleted WhatsApp stuff. All you need to do is uninstall the app
and install it back. This would actually use all the backup files, and restore whatever
it can.
Method 2
This app stores its backup files by the name, msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt and
in this tutorial, I would help you understand how to make these files spill out
your texts, images and videos that were shared. Below are the locations where
you can find these backup files for respective
OS Android : /sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases/msgstore.db.crypt
iOS :
net.whatsapp.WhatsApp/Documents/ChatStorage.sqlite
Assuming that you have
the backup file now, first thing that you need to do is launch a web service,Recover Messages which would actually get you going in this whole journey
to recover stuff.
Click on
the Select SQLite File, choose the backup file, click on I
accept (only after reading terms) and then on Scan button. It
would take some time, depending on backup file size and your Internet speed and
would list out all the contents.
Click on the
appropriate tab, and get what you want. Yes, it’s as simple as you find it
here.
These are the two
simple ways to recover WhatsApp content. Let us know if you find them useful.
