WhatsApp introduced a handy feature some time ago, allowing users to delete messages they've sent to both the sender and receiver. In simple terms, if you've ever sent a message on WhatsApp and then had second thoughts about it, you have two options for deleting it. You can either delete the message for yourself or for both yourself and the recipient by pressing and holding on the message. The latter option is called 'Delete for everyone,' and it removes the message from the recipient's chat as well. But what if you want to read a message that the sender deleted later? Well, the good news is, you can read deleted messages on WhatsApp.
So, if a message appears on your WhatsApp and is deleted before or after you read it, don't worry. You have the power to read that deleted message. To do this, you'll need to activate a specific setting on your Android phone. We'll walk you through the steps to enable this setting. Please note that these instructions are for Android devices only.
Here's how you can read deleted WhatsApp messages on your Android phone:
- Start by going to the Settings on your Android device.
- Now, tap on the 'Apps & Notifications' option.
- In the 'Apps & Notifications' menu, locate and tap on the 'Notifications' option.
- Inside the 'Notifications' menu, you'll find the 'Notification History' option. Turn this setting on.
The 'Notification History' feature keeps a record of all the notifications you receive from WhatsApp, as well as other notifications on your phone. So, when someone sends you a message that appears as a notification on your device, that message gets recorded. Even if the sender decides to delete the message, you can still access it under the 'Notification History' option.
However, please note that this feature only records text messages. If you receive photos, videos, or files that are later deleted, you won't be able to retrieve them from Notification History. Additionally, if you have a chat open and a message arrives that isn't recorded in your notifications, you won't find it in your history either.
Keep in mind that Notification History only retains notifications received within the last 24 hours. So, any messages deleted before this time limit won't be accessible through this method.
In conclusion, by enabling the 'Notification History' setting on your Android phone, you can recover deleted WhatsApp messages. Just remember the limitations, such as only text messages being recorded and the 24-hour time frame. With this method, you can regain access to important conversations that were deleted, providing you with a helpful way to keep track of your messages.
