Instead of archiving a WhatsApp chat, you decide to delete it. Whatâs the difference? Well, archived chats can be recovered very easily within WhatsApp; recovering deleted messages isnât as easy. But be assured it is possible.
In this tutorial, weâll show you how to recover deleted WhatsApp messages on your iPhone or Android. And then teach you to set up an advanced WhatsApp backup plan so you will never lose any of your WhatsApp messages again.
Understanding WhatsApp Chat BackupsHow To Reinstall Whatsapp Without Losing Data
In order to retrieve deleted WhatsApp messages, you need to enable âChat Backupâ in Settings.
Under âAuto Backupâ, WhatsApp offers several backup frequencies:
Itâs also important to note that WhatsApp will only retain the latest backup file in iOS and the two most recent backup files in Android.
By having daily auto backups, you will be able to easily recover messages soon after they are deleted.
On the other hand, weekly auto backups will allow you to go further back in time to recover deleted WhatsApp messages from less than seven days ago at the expense of losing recent chat messages.
Pick the auto backup frequency that best suits your needs.
For a more advanced backup plan for Android devices, please scroll down to the âAdvanced WhatsApp Backup Strategyâ section.
Restoring WhatsApp Chats
In order to recover WhatsApp messages, you will first need to identify how the messages were removed.
Restore Archived WhatsApp Messages
If they were archived, then you would simply reverse the archival by giving your iPhone a shake and choose âUndoâ to recover the archived chat.
How to Restore Archived WhatsApp Messages
Even if the chat was archived a while ago, you can still recover them.
In iOS:
In Android:
How to Retrieve Deleted WhatsApp Messages
Simply uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp. When you reinstall the app, you will be prompted to restore your message history from the backup file. Simply tap âRestoreâ and everything from the latest backup will be restored.
Done. This method of recovering deleted WhatsApp messages works on both Android and iOS but it has to be within your selected auto backup frequency. For instance, if your auto backup frequency is set to daily, then you can easily recover any deleted chats before the next backup occurs.
Recovering Older Deleted Chats
Getting deleted messages back after a backup has run is slightly more difficult. It will depend on your selected auto backup frequency and will only work on Android devices.
Overview:
Step-by-Step: How to Recover Older Deleted WhatsApp Chats
As mentioned before, WhatsApp will retain two of the most recent chat backup files. One will be the latest chat backup; the other, depending on your auto backup frequency, could be one day, seven days, or 30 days old. They are located on your Android deviceâs local storage.
Open your deviceâs File Explorer, and navigate to WhatsApp > Databases. For more information on how to browse Android folders, please read our beginnerâs guide to AndroidThe Android Beginner's Guide: How to Set Up Your First SmartphoneThe Android Beginner's Guide: How to Set Up Your First SmartphoneIf you're just getting started with your first Android smartphone, this in-depth guide has everything you need to know.Read More.
Within that folder, youâll find the two chat backup files, named msgstore.db.crytp12 (which is the most recent backup) and the other formatted msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt12 where âYYYY-MM-DDâ is the year, month, and date respectively.
To retrieve WhatsApp messages deleted some time between the two backups, simply:
After that, uninstall WhatsApp.
Perform this step if you enabled Google Drive backups as well: open your Google Drive app, tap on Backups, and delete the WhatsApp backup file.
Reinstall WhatsApp. Again, you will be prompted to restore from the backup file which youâve just edited (and is x days old instead of the most recent backup file).
This method will allow you to retrieve deleted WhatsApp messages from the second most recent backup. You may continue to use WhatsApp from that point on. Or you could export the retrieved chat messages and restore WhatsApp back to the latest backup by running through the entire process again.
This time, in your phoneâs File Explorer, reverse the process:
Uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp, restore from backup, and your latest chats will reappear!

Advanced WhatsApp Backup Strategy
Based off the fact that you can easily view and edit WhatsApp chat backup files on Android devices, itâs pretty easy to manipulate them to your advantage.
Although WhatsApp will only keep two of the most recent backup files, you can hack it so you have as many as you want.
All you need to do is rename msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt12 to something else, perhaps oct11.db.crypt12. And thus, this file is now protected from being overwritten by WhatsApp. In the next backup, WhatsApp will create a new msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt12 file. And youâll now have three restore points.
