If you’ve ever accidentallyd eleted or lost an important WhatsApp message, then you may havewished there was a magic button to bringit back. Well, there is sort of. The process is fiddly and there are conditions you’ll need to bear in mind before you proceed (we’ll get to these later).
First, you’ll need to make sure that automatic backup is switched on this makes regular backups to iCloud in iOS or Google Drive in Android. From the Chats screen, tap Settings (iOS) or the three-dot menu, then Settings (Android).
Tap ‘Chats’, ‘Chat backup’. On an Android device, tap ‘Back up to GoogleDrive’, on an iPhone, tap Auto Backup.
In both cases, select how often you want
to back up Daily, Weekly or Monthly
(see screenshot above).
Assuming backup has been enabled, restoring lost messages involves uninstalling WhatsApp from your device, then reinstalling it from yourapp store. During the initial setup process, you’ll be prompted to restore from a backup, if one is available.
Do so to restore all your messages including the lost ones. There are a couple of big caveats, however. Firstly, you can only restore messages that have been deleted since the last backup was made you’ll see the date and time of the latest WhatsApp backup on the ‘Chat backup’ page. Additionally, if you’ve received messages lose these during the restore process. As such, we’d only recommend using this method in emergency situations, where restoring a lost message is essential.
