Yes! I know you are here because you had an unforeseen event with your WhatsApp messages
. This situation is generating stress, right? 
Are you interested at this moment in recovering the information in your chats?
Calm down, you are in the right place! In this Blog, I will show you how to recover your WhatsApp messages. We will include options depending on your case and we will review the tools that can minimize that stress.
So... pay attention and follow the steps! 
Let's start with the possibilities
Recover deleted WhatsApp messages with the backup
Let's start with the most common way in your messaging app: backups. How do they work? Let's review the options that WhatsApp gives you in its help service.
If your phone is Android, previously, you must make sure that you have an active backup of the chats, otherwise, you will not be able to restore them to the device.
Android case:
For this:
1. Open WhatsApp and touch the more options icon (yes, the one with the 3 dots). Next, select the path: Settings> Chats> Backup.
2. Upon entering you will be able to check the details of the last copy and verify the Google account in which the backup copy of your chats is saved. You can also create a copy directly.
By touching the SAVE button, you can have an instant copy.
Keep in mind that in this area you can also determine how often the copy should be made and what type of files to save: photos and/or videos.
Starting with the idea that you have this configuration active, now you can do a backup restore. If your mobile is Android you have 2 ways:
Form #1. From Google Drive:
Through this method, you can activate the copy function and select how often it will be done: daily, weekly or monthly.
Keep in mind that you must have the same phone number and the same Google account that you used to create it.
Then it's a matter of:
- Make sure your device is linked to the Google account where the backup is saved.
- Install and open WhatsApp; then verify your number.
- Wait for your number to be recognized and touch the RESTORE option to recover your chats.
- When the restore process is complete, tap the NEXT option.
- Immediately the chats will begin to be restored. After they are restored, WhatsApp will restore your media files.
If for some reason you install WhatsApp and there is no copy saved in Google Drive, the app will restore your messages through the local copy. The other way we will see below.
Shape #2. From the Local Copy:
So, under this option, keep in mind that you must have a copy of the files through your computer. The idea is that they are saved in a file folder or on an SD card.
To start restoring the backup, start these steps:
- Download an app to manage files. Usually, your phone already comes with this app... but... if not, for Android you can use File Manager+, ES File Explorer, FX File Explorer, or Total Commander.
In the case of iPhone, use iCloud, Drive, Dropbox, or Documents. With that, you have this point 
.
- Now, in the app to manage files, look for the local storage option or the "sdcard" folder, then follow the path: WhatsApp > Databases.
If the information is not saved on the SD card, you may see folders named “internal storage” or “main storage”.
- Then, move the freshest backup from your computer to the "Databases" folder on your phone's local storage.
- As in a previous way, you will also have to install WhatsApp again and verify your number.
- When you finish the previous step, choose the “RESTORE” button. This will return your chats and multimedia files.
Keep in mind that your phone usually stores copies of the last 7 days. These are carried out daily, automatically, usually at dawn, and are saved as one more file on the mobile.
If for some reason you can't find the data in the “/sdcard/WhatsApp/” folder, you may find it in the “internal storage” or “main storage” section.
To more fully illustrate these alternatives, we share this video from the Help Desk:

iPhone case:
Shape #3. From iCloud:
As in Android, remember that previously, it will be necessary to have an active backup of the chats, otherwise you will not be able to restore them to the device.
Then restore chats from iCloud backup:
- Make sure there is a backup in iCloud. Then get the route WhatsApp> Settings> Chats> Backup.
- When you get the most recent backup, delete and reinstall WhatsApp.
- Finish by validating your phone number and finish the steps to restore your chat history.
Remember that:
1. Apple ID will be required to sign in to iCloud Drive.
2. You must guarantee enough space on your iPhone and iCloud to create the backup.
3. You must have an available space of at least 2.05 times the size of the copy, on your mobile and in your iCloud account.
Since the backups are tied to an individual phone number, you may have different backups for multiple WhatsApp accounts on a single iCloud account.
Recover all messages without backup
Okay. We close the world of WhatsApp with its options and now we start exploring other methods.
Shape #4. Method without a third party:
So, to recover your messages without backup and without WhatsApp possibilities, you can follow two ways:
1. Use some software or app.
2. Use a method that does not require a “third party”.
Let me tell you about path number 2. It will take you a couple of steps, but they are not impossible to follow:
- The first thing you should do is create a copy of your information in the WhatsApp/Database folder, (which is in the cell phone memory).
- You will then need to move that copy to a new folder in your folder.
- Once this is done, reinstall the WhatsApp application.
- Delete the file “msgstore. DB.crypt7″ or “msgstore. DB.crypt8″ from the WhatsApp/Database folder.
- Then, change the file containing the deleted messages from “msgstore-Year-Month-Day.1.db.crypt7″ to “msgstore. DB.crypt7″.
- And install WhatsApp again.
- You will have to copy the file from the WhatsApp/Database folder of the mobile and order your WhatsApp app again.
Once this is done, the application will recover the lost messages and we will say: "nothing happened", or "everything is fine".
Recover messages with 3 mobile apps
Shape #5. The world of Apps for WhatsApp:
Let's keep exploring situations and possibilities...
Let's think about the hypothetical case in which you decided to disable notifications and therefore no longer have access to your messages. And whoops, it turns out you now need total input to notifications.
No nerves! These are the 2 apps that will give you relaxation to recover messages:
- Notification history.
Created by Yota Studio, the "Notifications History" app has more than 5 million downloads and 28.1k opinions, thus achieving a score of 3.5. Its last update was in August 2021 and you can use it to:
- A backup copies of messages to check them right away.
- Understand which apps annoy you with advertising and download them.
- Notification history log.
This app seems interesting to me because its download description transparently indicates what happens to your information and data when you use it. Its rating is 4.3 
and it has around 24.9k views.
Its functions include managing, sorting, and viewing all the past notifications you received (yes, it does include recovering deleted messages).
With more than 10 million downloads, the WhatisRevomed+ app allows you to manage your notifications and folders by detecting changes to them and saving deleted files.
In the case of WhatsApp, it is enough to install WhatisRevomed+ and you will be able to select the messaging app to monitor and keep a copy of the files.
If WhatisRevomed+ detects a change or deletion of a WhatsApp message, it will notify you so that you can have control.
And… Are there more ways to recover deleted messages?
The answer is yes! Below I share some possibilities so that once and for all we close that stress.
Shape #6. 3 Software:
You can use any of the following software:
- Tenorshare UltData para Android.
In the case of WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business, restore messages without a backup.
