WhatsApp has become an integral part of our daily lives. It stores our personal conversations, important documents, and valuable information. Therefore, if a chat is accidentally deleted, it's natural to feel anxious. Fortunately, if you've already enabled WhatsApp backup, deleted chats can be easily recovered.
How to Restore WhatsApp Chats from Backup
If you have a WhatsApp backup on Google Drive (Android) or iCloud (iPhone), follow these steps:
First, uninstall WhatsApp from your phone.
Then, reinstall WhatsApp from the Play Store or App Store.
Log in by entering the same mobile number.
Once the number is verified, WhatsApp will search for available backups.
Tap the Restore button and wait for the process to complete.
Once the restore is complete, your old chats and media will reappear.
What if the backup isn't available?
If you've never created a chat backup or the backup has been deleted, restoring your chats can be quite difficult. So, be cautious before using third-party recovery apps, as they aren't always successful and may compromise your privacy.
To save your chats in the future,
go to Settings > Chats > Chat Backup in WhatsApp.
Turn on Google Drive or iCloud Backup.
Set Auto Backup to Daily or Weekly.
Check your backups periodically to easily restore your data if needed.
