How to Check Deleted Messages by Sender on WhatsApp

Let’s find understand how does this work for Android users.

How to see deleted WhatsApp messages on Android without any app?

Through Notification System

You must have noticed that when you receive a text from someone, it gets notified on the main screen of your phone. And this is what you can use to check on all recently deleted texts, thanks to the in-built notification system in your phone. But you need to make sure that the operating system of your phone is Android 11 or above to make it work. Here are the instructions to follow, so that you view all the recent texts received on your WhatsApp number whether deleted or not:

  • Open your phone and go to Settings
  • Now open the Apps & Notification tab
  • Click on Notifications
  • Select Notification history
  • You will be redirected to the page where you can see all recent and snoozed notifications

To find out all the deleted texts on WhatsApp, make sure you have enabled the Notification History for WhatsApp in your settings. Also, keep in mind that it only works for Android phones.

Through WhatsApp Chat Backup

Another way to find out what text or message the other person has deleted on WhatsApp is by restoring the chat backup of the app. Just recover the texts and you would get to know all the recent chats. But how would you do that? Well, here is the step-by-step process for you to restore the backup.

  • First, uninstall WhatsApp from your phone
  • Now re-install the app and log into it using your phone number
  • Once your number is verified, you would be asked to restore your messages if there is any backup found on Google Drive or other cloud storage providers
  • Select ‘Restore’
  • After the process is done, you will have all the deleted chats on display

However, it is important to already have a backup of your WhatsApp chats and conversations without which you wouldn’t be able to restore anything.

Using Third-Party Apps

Another answer to your question – how to find deleted messages on WhatsApp – is through third-party notification history apps. There are dozens of third-party apps that you can download on your phone and keep a tab on all notifications. However, you also need to keep in mind that these apps are not supported by WhatsApp and hence, are often not safe. Also, these notification history apps only work on Android phones. With their help, you can also sync your kids’ WhatsApp messages to the app and monitor them.

  • Download the app from Google Play Store
  • Open the app and log into it
  • You are set to view all deleted messages on WhatsApp

However, this wouldn’t let you view deleted images, videos, GIFs, and other such media files.

How to See Deleted WhatsApp Messages on iPhone

Through iCloud Backup

Use iCloud Backup to see WhatsApp deleted messages by sender. Start by restoring deleted messages. Make sure your WhatsApp is synced to iCloud so that it has the backup for your WhatsApp messages. Here’s what to do to view deleted texts on your iPhone:

  • First, you need to uninstall WhatsApp and then install it again to log into it.
  • During the login process, select the option to restore your WhatsApp backup from iCloud.
  • Now, you can check deleted messages as well.
