The WhatsApp messaging application allows users to perform backups on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. However, when changing cell phones, some chats may be lost.

Here is how to restore lost WhatsApp messages and how to recover videos, photos and files on the platform.

How to restore old WhatsApp messages

The user only needs to configure the WhatsApp application on Android so that it can make a backup. Then you can recover deleted messages without any hassle.

To activate the backup, follow these steps:

-Open WhatsApp.

-Click on the three dots that appear in the upper right corner.

-Choose in "Settings".

-Search for the "Chats" option.

-Click on "Backup" > "Keep". Finally, the backup will be done instantly.

How to recover them after enabling backup?

-Delete the WhatsApp app from the phone.

-Download and install the app again.

-Open the WhatsApp to restore the message history by clicking on the "Restore" option.

It should be noted that if any message does not appear, it is because they had been deleted for more than seven days.

Another way to save WhatsApp chats safely so you never lose them

First of all, enter the platform and click on Settings. Enter "chats" and "chat history". Then select "export chats". Now, a menu will be displayed that will allow you to choose the specific contact.

Once the chat is chosen, WhatsApp will ask whether to include multimedia content or just send the plain text and emojis. This last option, since it does not have files such as videos, images and documents, is less heavy and faster.

Whatsapp then allows userss to choose which email to send the chat log to. A few minutes later, the full chat will arrive via mailbox.

How to see a deleted photo and video?

First of all, you have to check that the application is up to date. For this, go to the Smartphone application store. Then, once it has been confirmed that the user has WhatsApp in its latest version, you have to enter the messaging application.

Next, click on Settings or Settings. Then go to Storage & Data and click "Auto Download".

This will allow, in the event that the person sends a photo or video and deletes it, the user can find it in their image gallery.

How to read a deleted message on WhatsApp?

WhatsApp does not have an official feature that reveals the content of a message but there is an app called "WhatsRemoved+", which can be downloaded via the Android app store. At the moment, there is no similar app available on iOS.

How does it work? In short, the user only needs to configure the WhatsApp application on Android so that he can make a backup. Then, you can recover the deleted messages without any hassle.

Here are the steps to follow: first, download the application and go to the WhatsRemoved+ settings menu. Choose in "Notifications" the application "WhatsApp" and press next.

In the next step, you need to give permission to join the two apps. Once the permission is granted, you can see all the deleted messages in the "WhatsApp" option of WhatsRemoved+.

Since it is an unauthorized application, if WhatsApp detects its use it could block the account forever. For this reason, you must be careful as these are unofficial applications that violate the conditions of use and, according to Facebook, it is not possible to validate its security practices.

"Unsupported apps, such as WhatsApp Plus, GB WhatsApp, or those that claim to be able to move your WhatsApp chats from one phone to another, are altered versions of WhatsApp. These unofficial applications are developed by third parties and violate our Terms of Service. WhatsApp does not endorse the use of these third-party applications because it is not possible to validate their security practices", the company said in a statement weeks ago. .
