Some time ago, WhatsApp introduced a very nice feature that allows users to delete messages that were mistakenly sent so that the recipient won’t be able to read them.
Now, I will show you how to recover and read deleted messages on Whatsapp by utilizing a bug that Whatsapp is yet to fix. Although this feature is freely available on GBWhatsApp Apk for Android.
This bug is available on both Whatsapp for Android and WhatsApp for iOS so this means you will be able to read any deleted messages on Whatsapp whether you are using Android or iPhone. Interesting right? Let’s move on.
WhatsApp allows you to delete messages that were sent by error or mistake in under one hour. Without wasting much time, follow these tips below to achieve this simple but very impressive trick.
How to Recover Deleted Messages on WhatsApp
The Whatsapp deleted messages recovering trick revolves around the WhatsApp backup feature that runs on most people’s phones at 2AM each night.
Other backup options are available, but it’s the overnight one that makes the most sense to exploit this bug.
First Tip:
If someone deletes a message and you want to read it then you simply uninstall the app and then install it again. When you do this the chat archive will be restored from the backup and deleted messages will reappear.
Second Tip:
It seems that there’s an issue with how the app handles deleted messages that makes this possible. When you’re online and someone deletes a message the app says “this message was deleted”.
Third Tip:
While the message vanishes from the chat it’s still stored on the device. When the backup is restored the app no longer flags it as deleted and it’s restored.
Fourth Tip:
There are risks with restoring backups though and they can cause problems of their own. You will, for example, lose messages that were sent between the backup and when you reset your phone.
NOTE: This is a bug and may not last forever as Whatsapp may roll out updates in the future to fix it but before then, enjoy the trick.
