Here are the baby steps to read deleted WhatsApp messages:
Method 1: Using WhatsApp’s Built-in Feature
- Open WhatsApp and go to the chat where the message was deleted.
- Tap on the three dots (⋮) at the top right corner of the screen.
- Select “Settings” from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down and tap on “Account”.
- Tap on “Privacy”.
- Enable “Read Receipts” (if it’s not already enabled).
- Go back to the chat and look for the deleted message. If the sender has enabled read receipts, you’ll see a “This message was deleted” notification.
- Long press on the notification to read the deleted message.
Method 2: Using Third-Party Apps (Android Only)
- Download and install a third-party app like “WhatsApp Deleted Messages” or “Deleted Messages Recovery” from the Google Play Store.
- Open the app and grant it the necessary permissions.
- Select WhatsApp as the messaging app.
- The app will recover and display the deleted messages.
Method 3: Using WhatsApp Backup (Android and iOS)
- Make sure you have enabled WhatsApp backup on your device.
- Uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp.
- During the setup process, select “Restore” when prompted to restore your chat history.
- Deleted messages will be restored along with your chat history.
Please note that these methods may not work in all cases, especially if the sender has permanently deleted the message or if you’ve cleared your WhatsApp data. Additionally, using third-party apps may compromise your device’s security, so proceed with caution.
