WhatsApp is like a container with hundreds or even thousands of messages and conversations you had with your friends, family or colleagues. In these “chats” there could be important information, addresses, passwords, and so on, so that is why you often need to be able to retrieve old conversations that you probably deleted from WhatsApp too hastily and superficially, or simply by mistake. But do not worry. Today there is still a chance to recover these conversations removed from WhatsApp.
If you have an Android phone, go to Whatsapp Recovery for Android. If you have an iPhone, you can download and try to do a scan of the device memory using the software Dr.Fone for iOS. This program is one of the most famous “iPhone data recovery” and allows you to recover all deleted data from your device, including your old WhatsApp messages. Obviously you can not go too far back in the recovery because, as time passes, the old messages contained in WhatsApp may have been overwritten by new ones, and when you have such a “overwrite”, recovery becomes virtually impossible. Let’s see below how Dr.Fone for iOS works and how to retrieve old WhatsApp conversations removed from your iPhone.
Step 1. Download and install Dr.Fone for iOS on your PC or Mac. Step 2. Connect your iPhone to the computer and start scanning. Once started Dr.Fone for iOS you will see a screenshot. You can decide whether to retrieve the data from the device memory or from the itunes backup file (if available). Suppose you do not have a backup and choose the direct recovery from the iOS device. In that case you will have to connect the iPhone to your computer via USB cable. Step 3. Start Scan and retrieve your WhatsApp conversations. Click “START” to start scanning the memory of your iPhone. Dr.Fone will search all the files contained in the memory, not only the old WhatsApp conversations, but also photos, videos, notes, text messages, contacts, calendar, reminders, voice memos, and so on. At the end of the scan you will see a screenshot showing all the files found. Enter the folder “Whatsapp” and from here you can select the conversations to recover. Click “Retrieve” to save those messages on your computer in text format or html format. In addition to text messages, also any attachements to the conversations will be saved (photos, video, audio …).
That’s it! Try now this program and check which one and how many of your old conversations are still recoverable from your iPhone!
