How to See Deleted WhatsApp Messages and Media

WhatsApp is the most widely used instant messaging App. The Facebook owned messaging App is used by more than a billion people everyday. It is used to do messages, share news, images, videos and documents. In late 2017 WhatsApp introduced a feature to delete messages for themselves as well as the receiver on the other end. Messages can be deleted in individual chats as well as group chat and the feature is available on Android, iOS and Windows platform.

The feature is very helpful as sometimes we send a message to a wrong contact or rectify a spelling mistake, it even helps prevent spread of misinformation and there are times in a heated argument people say something they didn't meant and then after realizing delete the message so the receiver doesn't read it and get offended. But still there is a catch, even after deleting the message before the other person reads it, recipients get to know that you have deleted a message as “This message was deleted” is displayed instead of the deleted message.

Curiosity is engraved in human nature and we couldn't help ourselves. Whenever users delete text, audio or video from their chat, we want to know what it exactly was. However, sometimes for iOS users photos and videos get saved in the photogallery, but in Android the media also gets deleted even if it's downloaded in our Gallery when the sender deletes it. There is no official way to curb you out of this annoying situation when you are curious and want to know what was there in “This message was deleted”.

Thankfully, there are a lot of Third Party Applications available on the Play Store for Android users. To read deleted WhatsApp messages, you can use these third-party apps that allow you to recover WhatsApp messages after the sender has deleted it. A third-party App called WhatsRemoved+ helps users retrieve the deleted WhatsApp messages. The App maintains a log of your notifications that are stored in the Notification register of the Android system.

However, all the third party Apps that allow you to retrieve WhatsApp deleted messages can access users data because that is how it reads WhatsApp messages, by actually monitoring notifications and the content shown in those notifications, that's why they are not recommended because a third-party app that gains access to sensitive users data involves a major security risk. But if you still want to know what was there in This Message was Deleted you know How to See Deleted WhatsApp Messages.
