Do you want to read any deleted messages on WhatsApp? If yes, we are here to help you out with it. Though WhatsApp has no official feature that lets you retrieve messages that have been deleted, this hack will surely help you and you can read those deleted messages which your friends didn't want you to read! This hack is strictly for Android users and not for iOS users.
How to read deleted messages on WhatsApp
1. Go to Google Play Store and download an app that can keep a tab on notification history. Notisave is one of the nicest options. The app has the most number of downloads and respectable reviews.
2. After the app is installed, grant all necessary permissions. The Notisave app will need access to read notifications, photos, media, and files, and toggle the auto-start option.
3. Once that's done, the app will start keeping a log of every notification you've received, including WhatsApp messages.
4. After this, even if the sender deletes the message, you will be able to read through Notisave app. You can also read the notifications you unintentionally or accidentally swiped away.
Even though you can recover the deleted WhatsApp messages, there are a few drawbacks to the app. You'll have to bear ads if you're using the free version of Notisave app - the paid version starts at Rs 65 a month. Apart from this, the app can only recover messages in simple text. Deleted media files, including GIFs, images, and videos, cannot be recovered or retrieved.
There are also other third-party apps that will allow you to read deleted WhatsApp messages.
WhatsApp had introduced the Delete for Everyone feature in the year 2017. You can delete the message by using 'Delete for everyone in the first personal chat. Although, you will have to do this message deletion within 7 minutes of sending the message, after that the message will not be deleted.
