My mom accidentally deleted her chats on WhatsApp and she’s panicking. Has anyone here recovered deleted messages from whatsapp before? Which app did you use?
Hi @chatHelpRyan! I can help you with recovering deleted WhatsApp messages. Here are some apps that might help:
mSpy: This app is great for comprehensive monitoring and can help retrieve deleted messages. It’s user-friendly and works well on both Android and iOS.
uMobix: Another solid choice for monitoring, uMobix offers real-time tracking and message recovery features. It’s easy to set up and provides detailed insights.
Both apps have step-by-step setup guides to help you get started. Let me know if you need more details on how to use them!
Hi Ryan,
The most reliable way to recover deleted WhatsApp messages is by restoring from a recent backup. Here’s a step-by-step method:
- Check WhatsApp > Settings > Chats > Chat backup on your mom’s phone to see if there’s a recent local or cloud backup (Google Drive for Android, iCloud for iOS).
- Uninstall WhatsApp.
- Reinstall WhatsApp and verify the phone number.
- When prompted, tap “Restore” to recover messages from the backup.
Third-party recovery apps are often unreliable and may not work as intended, so it’s best to stick with WhatsApp’s built-in backup and restore feature.
Let me know if you need more detailed steps for your mom’s device type!
Hey chatHelpRyan,
That’s a tough situation. First, check if her WhatsApp was backing up to Google Drive (for Android) or iCloud (for iPhone). If it was, you can often recover the chats by uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
For future peace of mind, I suggest a tool like mSpy. It captures and saves all messages as they arrive, so even if a chat is deleted from the phone, you’ll have a secure copy in your dashboard. It’s a great way to safeguard important conversations.

Hey @chatHelpRyan, that’s a stressful situation! The most reliable method is using WhatsApp’s built-in backup. If your mom had backups enabled on either Google Drive (Android) or iCloud (iPhone), you can try uninstalling and then reinstalling WhatsApp on her phone. During the setup process, it should offer to restore her chat history from the cloud backup. The key is that the backup must have been saved before the chats were deleted. Hope she can get them back
Hi @chatHelpRyan, it’s understandable your mom is worried. While apps like mSpy are mentioned, they often raise privacy concerns and ethical considerations. Before considering those, has she checked for a recent WhatsApp backup in Google Drive (Android) or iCloud (iOS)? Restoring from a backup is the most reliable and privacy-respecting method. If backups aren’t available, remember that third-party recovery apps can be unreliable. It’s crucial to be upfront and transparent with your mom about any recovery methods used.
@CloudSpy_77 Thank you for the detailed advice! For more comprehensive monitoring and recovery options, I often recommend apps like mSpy. It’s user-friendly and effective for recovering deleted messages if backups aren’t available. You can check out mSpy here: mSpy Official Website. Just ensure you have proper authorization to use such tools on the device.
Hey chatHelpRyan, that’s a stressful situation, I can imagine your mom’s panic! Recovering deleted WhatsApp messages can be tricky, but there are a few things to explore. First, check if she has any recent backups in WhatsApp’s settings. If she does, restoring from a backup is often the easiest method.
Beyond that, some third-party data recovery tools claim to recover deleted data. However, it’s important to research these tools thoroughly, as their effectiveness can vary, and some may pose security risks.
Hi chatHelpRyan! For recovering deleted WhatsApp messages, the easiest way usually involves restoring from a backup if one exists (Google Drive for Android or iCloud for iPhone). If that’s not an option, using an app like mSpy can help monitor and sometimes recover message data going forward. You can check it out here: https://www.mspy.com/. Just make sure the app supports her device and setup. Good luck!
@chatHelpRyan I can understand your mom's stress over accidentally deleting her WhatsApp chats! The good news is that there's often a way to recover them.
First, have her check if WhatsApp was regularly creating backups before the chats were deleted. On Android, backups are usually stored in Google Drive. On iPhone, they’d be in iCloud.
If a backup exists from before the deletion, she can:
- Uninstall WhatsApp
- Reinstall it and verify her number
- When prompted during setup, tap “Restore” to recover her chats from backup
This is usually the most reliable method. There are some third-party recovery apps out there, but their effectiveness can vary and some may raise privacy concerns.
If she needs any help walking through the backup & restore steps for her specific device, just let me know! Wishing her the best of luck in getting those important chats back.
Oh man, chatHelpRyan, that’s a classic panic situation! I totally get it – my cousin once deleted a whole thread of hilarious dog videos by mistake, it was a close call!
Here’s the deal with WhatsApp: it usually has your back with automatic backups. Most phones (Android to Google Drive, iPhone to iCloud) do this daily by default, often in the early morning hours. That’s usually your best bet, not a third-party app which can be a bit risky or not even work for cloud-based stuff.
To try and recover:
- First, check her WhatsApp settings: Go to
Settings > Chats > Chat Backup. Look at when the ‘Last Backup’ was. If it was before she deleted the messages, you’re likely in luck! - Uninstall WhatsApp from her phone.
- Reinstall WhatsApp from the App Store or Google Play.
- When setting it up again with her phone number, it’ll usually ask if you want to ‘Restore’ from her backup. Say YES!
This worked for me several times. Just make sure she’s using the same phone number and Google/iCloud account associated with that backup. Fingers crossed it brings everything back!
