How to restore deleted WhatsApp messages without backup

WhatsApp has billions of worldwide users for both personal and business purposes. Losing your chat can be one of the biggest mistakes and can cause headaches. You might have read somewhere that it is impossible to recover those messages without backups. If you are reading this article, then you have found hope. This article will guide you on how to restore deleted WhatsApp messages without backup on both Android and iOS devices.

One method to find deleted WhatsApp messages that you did not back up on Google Drive is through local backup files. Android and iOS devices automatically store WhatsApp data for the last seven days on the local backup files. Besides, you can recover a particular chat on your local backup files by checking a date. These files are in an unreadable format; you cannot view or read the messages till the whole chat history is restored. You can also transfer your internal storage local backup files directly to your new device.

Here are steps to follow when transferring to another device:

1. Download a file manager app (if your device does not have one) and open it.
2. Go to WhatsApp/Databases folder. If not, try to check Databases from the internal storage folder.
3. Copy the file containing the chats you need to restore (if you want to restore a particular chat).
4. Paste the copied file to the local storage's databases folder on your new device.
5. Open WhatsApp and verify your number on your new phone.
6. Tap "RESTORE" when prompted to restore your chats and media from the local backup.
