How to recover Whatsapp data

Recover Whatsapp Data: Messages, Images, Videos

 WhatsApp is available for Android, iOS and Windows Mobile platforms and allows you to stay in touch with almost all your friends without paying anything to your service provider. One of the biggest privileges that we need from any messaging or emailing service is whether it could let you recover any of your deleted messages. And the fact that WhatsApp lets you recover deleted messages, images and videos.

So, below are two ways to recover lost Whatsapp data:

Method 1: This is a simple and pretty straightforward way to restore deleted WhatsApp stuff. All you need to do is uninstall the app and install it back. This would actually use all the backup files, and restore whatever it can.


Method 2: This app stores its backup files by the name, msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt. Below are the locations where you can find these backup files for respective OS:
Android: /sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases/msgstore.db.crypt iOS: net.whatsapp.WhatsApp/Documents/ChatStorage.sqlite
Assuming that you have the backup file now, first thing that you need to do is launch a web service, Recover Messages
Click on the Select SQLite File, choose the backup file, click on I Accept (only after reading terms) and then on Scan button. It would take some time, depending on backup file size and your internet speed, and would list all the contents.
Now, click on the appropriate tab to recover the lost data.
