Discovering that a message has been deleted before you could read it can be quite frustrating, especially when you’re curious about its content. WhatsApp’s ‘Delete for Everyone’ feature, while helpful in some instances, can leave recipients feeling puzzled.
For Android users, there’s a way to access deleted WhatsApp messages by checking the notification history. Follow these steps:
Navigate to your phone’s ‘Settings’.
Scroll down and select ‘Apps & Notifications’.
Tap on ‘Notifications’.
Choose ‘Notification history’.
Toggle the ‘Use notification history’ button to enable it.
Once activated, you’ll have access to WhatsApp message notifications, even if they’ve been deleted.
Alternatively, you can explore third-party solutions like the “Get Deleted Messages” app from the Google Play Store. After installation and granting necessary permissions, this app allows you to view deleted WhatsApp messages effortlessly.
Another method involves regularly backing up your WhatsApp data. By accessing WhatsApp Settings, selecting Chats, and opting for Chat Backup, you can restore messages from an earlier backup, including those that have been deleted.
While these methods offer avenues to retrieve deleted messages, they each come with their own set of considerations and steps.
