How to recover deleted WhatsApp messages?

07:12 pm

With some hesitation, people tend to ask Google if it is possible to recover deleted WhatsApp messages, and although there is no official response from the company, there are tricks that bring back deleted conversations to users, whether in a private chat or in a group.

Those tricks are:

1. Uninstall and reinstall the application, because in many cases, the application itself restores all conversations.

2. Use the WhatsApp trash on your cell phone.

3. Read the notification history, because “since all messages are notified to the user of their content, it is enough to monitor these notifications to read the messages, even if they have been deleted,” explains Xataca.

4. Restore the backup from Google Drive or iCloud, as this restores the system to the old chats on the phone.

5. Finally, according to La Nación, “If the expected result is not achieved, it is possible to install one of the applications created for this purpose, with the security risks involved on the computer, such as WAMR, available for Android.” and iOS, or WhatsRemoved+, which collects all WhatsApp messages, as long as they generate a notification. That is, these applications do not recover deleted messages if they were deleted before installing the applications.

WhatsApp for Android makes it easy to free up storage space in chats and channels

WhatsApp has designed a system that allows you to view and manage storage on the platform, which now distinguishes two tabs – Chats and Channels – and improves the task of freeing up space allocated to photos, documents and videos, among other files.

This messaging service developed by Meta currently has a section where you can check the storage and data used, as well as network usage and automatic file downloads. This tab is located in the Settings section.

The Storage Management folder displays used storage and free storage. It also shows the list of chats with saved contacts, files shared with them, and their size.

The company has modified this section with new filters that distinguish the space designated for conversations and channels. Likewise, it has implemented a tab that combines the two tabs, “All,” as WABetaInfo recently confirmed.

Through this feature, which was discovered in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android 2.24.10.8, and is available to testers through the Play Store, the “app” seeks to make users focus on certain types of content.

Likewise, this format can simplify the process of identifying which conversations or channels are taking up the most space and thus speed up the cleaning process and free up storage space.
