Well, this is a common one.
Almost all of us have at one time or another accidentally deleted an important WhatsApp message, at times before even reading it. You may have as well deleted a message that contains crucial information before penning it down, and now you are stuck thinking there is no undoing…but there is!
This happens quite often, no need to beat yourself up about it, cursing and regretting upon realization of the mistake. Not to worry about such anymore though because WhatsApp automatically backs up your chat history every night, at 3:00 am to be precise.
With the most recent settings, you can also back up your chat history either locally on your phone’s internal or external SD card memory that is automatic or manually on Google Drive for Android users or iCloud for iPhone or iPad users.
Points to consider before restoration
- Make sure that the phone number you are using to recover your WhatsApp chat history is the same one you used when backing up your chat history.
- Ensure that you are using the same account you used to back up your data on Google Drive or iCloud. Because if not, you will not succeed.
- By no chance should you have deleted your backup folder and files. If you have, then you are doomed.
- You have installed a file manager application as you will use it to search for as well as rename files and folders.
