How to See Deleted Messages in WhatsApp

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world, with over 2 billion active users. It allows users to send text messages, photos, videos and voice messages to other users for free. WhatsApp also offers a feature called “Delete for Everyone,” which allows users to delete messages that they have sent to other users. This feature can be useful if you accidentally send a message to the wrong person or if you change your mind about what you said. However, it can also be frustrating if you want to see a message that someone has deleted.

There are a few ways to see deleted messages in WhatsApp. One way is to use a third-party app. There are a number of apps available that can scan your phone’s memory for deleted WhatsApp messages. Once you have installed an app, simply open it and it will scan your phone for deleted messages. If it finds any, it will display them to you.

Another way to see deleted messages in WhatsApp is to restore your chat history from a backup. WhatsApp allows you to back up your chat history to Google Drive or iCloud. If you have enabled chat backup and you have recently deleted a message, you can restore your chat history from the backup and the deleted message will be restored as well.

Finally, you can also see deleted messages in WhatsApp if you have enabled the “Notification History” feature on your phone. This feature keeps a record of all of the notifications that you have received, including WhatsApp messages. If someone deletes a message that they sent to you, you will still be able to see it in the Notification History.

Here are the steps on how to see deleted messages in WhatsApp using each of the methods mentioned above:

Using a Third-Party App

1. Download a third-party app that can scan your phone’s memory for deleted WhatsApp messages.
