HOW TO READ WHATSAPP DELETED MESSAGES

HOW TO READ WHATSAPP DELETED MESSAGES

Step 1 – Go to Google Play store and install an app called Notification History. Run it and give it all the required permissions to access your device’s system settings.

Step 2 – Now, you can search the message in the notification log for the WhatsApp message. This is essentially a log of all the notifications that you receive on your phone. You’ll have to segregate the ones received on WhatsApp.

Step 3 – That’s it. You can use the settings available on launchers such as Nova Launcher. However, some Android phones allow you to check the notification log.

It is noteworthy that you can only check only those WhatsApp notifications that have not been attended. This means the WhatsApp notification that you have either swiped or cleared won’t be shown in the log. While this can be one of the limitations of this method, it isn’t actually one because swiping a notification means you have seen it, at least partially.

Coming to the second method which is applicable only for the sender, and maybe for the receiver if the message has not been deleted by the sender. For this, you have to make sure you have turned on chat backup on WhatsApp. Usually, WhatsApp begins the backup process during the night, so all the chats before this time are saved in the local memory, as well as in your Google Drive. Now, if you have accidentally deleted a chat or a chat message, you can restore the chats from either of the storage options.

To do that, uninstall WhatsApp on your phone – you can also go into the dual mode to create an instance of the app. The latter is available on a large range of smartphones as they support creating a duplicate of any app. The idea is to start from the scratch so that you can restore chats.

Now, after freshening the WhatsApp, you need to enter your mobile number, followed by the OTP you received and the passcode you use for two-factor authentication if any. The next screen on the app will ask you to choose to restore the chats. Tapping on the Restore button will begin the process from the local memory and your Google account simultaneously. After this is done and you reach the chat screen, you can jump to the particular chat to read the message.

That’s it.

These two methods can make you read the messages that you didn’t intend to delete. If you know any other methods to recover the deleted messages, sound off in the comments section below.
