The messaging application incorporates a synchronization system which leaves you enough time to recover messages deleted by mistake.

If you use WhatsApp daily, you have surely ever deleted inadvertently, one or more messages from a conversation, or even worse, a photo or a video that you had not saved.Do not panic, there is a fairly simple way to recover content deleted by mistake on WhatsApp.

Depending on the cloud backup frequency configured in the application (every month, every week, or every day), deleted messages and files of the application can be restored in a few minutes.

1.Compare the dates

To do this, we must first make sure that the deleted elements are part of the last backup made by WhatsApp.

To do this, compare the date (even approximate) of the elements deleted with the date of the last backup.

You will find this information by going to the settings, then in discussions, enter the backup menu where the date of the last backup is indicated.

2.Reinstall Whatsapp

If the date of deleted messages predates the date of the latest backup on WhatsApp's cloud, missing messages should be part of the backup.Uninstall the application of your device and reinstall it.

3.Restore Cloud backup

Open WhatsApp and reconfigure your account by entering your phone number.Then choose to restore existing cloud backup.You should then find all the elements deleted by mistake.

Keep in mind that this manipulation will not work with the messages and content that you have just received, if the cloud backup has not been updated in the meantime.
