Everybody has probably gotten a text message on WhatsApp from someone who was a little offended, only to have it removed before we could even read it. This puts us in an interesting position to decipher the meaning. The good news is that you may see the deleted messages on WhatsApp by using a few workarounds. Let's examine them now.
Method 1: Utilize Android's Notification History
The Notification History function on Android smartphones maintains a record of all the alerts you have ignored. Here, you could be able to locate the WhatsApp communications without the need for an app before they were erased. However, you must first activate this feature in order to utilize it. Here's how to go about doing it.
- On your Android phone, open Settings > Notifications.
- From here, tap on Notification history. (On some phones, this option might be available under Advanced Settings.)
- Turn on the Use notification history toggle.
Now, swipe left or right to dismiss the WhatsApp notice, and it will show up in the notice history for . Make careful to respond quickly since it maintains a record of the alerts you've received over the previous 24 hours. This functionality works most of the time, based on my usage of it.
Method 2: See Deleted Messages on Android and iOS using WhatsApp Restore
Restoring a backup of your WhatsApp conversation after reinstalling the app is an additional method to access the deleted messages without using an external software. All of your communications are restored throughout this procedure, and the previously erased contents are even visible. Make sure you have a backup of your conversations on iCloud or Google Drive before we start. Then do out these actions.- Uninstall or Remove WhatsApp from your Smartphone.
- Once removed, reinstall it from the Google Play Store or the App Store.
- Now open the app, enter your number, and Give Permission to check for available backups.
- When a recent backup is found, tap on the Restore button.
Method 3: Use WhatsApp Web to View Deleted Messages
Accessing WhatsApp Web might perhaps aid in retrieving the erased message if you haven't already set it up. The second method's reasoning applies here as well, although the likelihood of it succeeding is quite low. Nevertheless, I believe that seeing erased texts without an app is something worth trying.- Head over to web.whatsapp.com, now open WhatsApp on your smartphone.
- Tap on the three-dot menu in the top right corner.
- Select Linked devices and then tap on Link a device.
- Now scan the QR code shown on your computer with your phone.
Try using third-party apps like Notisave as a bonus.
Try third-party programs such as Notisave as well. They maintain a record of all incoming notifications, much as the Notification History function. Thus, even if the WhatsApp text message is erased, the content of the message remains visible. After trying a number of applications, this one was able to function without cost. Let's see its operation.- Download Notisave from the Google Play Store and launch the app.
- Here, give it notification access by navigating to Allow > Next > Allow and selecting Allow access to notifications.
- Inside the Device and app notifications menu, tap on Notisave.
- Turn on the Allow notification access toggle.
- Choose Allow to grant this permission.
