Surely you have accidentally deleted all your chats. This means that the main interface was completely blank. Here we provide you the final solution so that you can recover the conversations and their contents.
The information you send or receive through WhatsApp is very important because it has practically become a kind of notepad or a gallery of multimedia files. Thousands of users searched online forums for the solution when they accidentally deleted all of their personal and group conversations. Is there hope to restore them? Luckily, yes, but you only retain 90% of the information.
How do you delete all chats on your WhatsApp account? There are times when you lend your phone to a minor and they happen to access the Chats > Chat History > Delete All Chats sections. You may have also done this out of curiosity as there is no option to “undo” the action here.
At the beginning we said that you can only recover 90% of the information provided you have backed up your conversations between these days or three weeks ago since you deleted them. To clarify the point: the solution is to restore the most recent backup.
The steps to recover your WhatsApp conversations that you accidentally deleted
- First, go to Google Play Store and search for WhatsApp.
- Now uninstall the application from the same Android store > download the meta app again.
- Open it and click “Accept and continue” > enter the country you live in, zip code and your phone number.
- In the next step, click “Next” > “Ok” > and you will receive the verification code via SMS or phone call (authentication is automatic).
- Enter your two-step verification key if you have activated it.
- This is the most important part. You’ll see the following message: “To find and restore your Google Drive backup, allow WhatsApp to access the contacts, photos, multimedia content, and files on your device.”
- Tap Next to restore the last backup you created and restore your chats.
- Finally, wait for the restore process to complete.
- As mentioned, you will only recover 90% of your conversations (if you made a copy two or three weeks ago after deleting your chats).
The solution if you don’t receive the WhatsApp verification code because you are in another country
- You just need to activate roaming or data roaming, what is it? It consists of the tool to take advantage of the coverage of a network other than the main one.
- This way you not only have mobile data (internet), but you can also make or receive calls and SMS messages.
- Keep in mind that your phone provider’s “roaming” service would add additional costs to your bill.
- To activate it, first go to the “Settings” of your smartphone > then click on the “Connections” section.
- The next step is to click on the “Cellular Networks” option.
- Finally, activate the “Data roaming” switch.
- Done, now all you have to do is request the WhatsApp verification code again.
