In case you want to recover any deleted image from WhatsApp, it is possible to do so with the help of some simple tricks.
For this reason, in the following article we will explain how to recover deleted photos from WhatsApp, in a short time and without too many complications.
Try downloading them again
Start by trying one of the simplest methods, try downloading the photos again. It should be noted that this can only work if the image in question has been deleted from the mobile gallery and not from the chat, as in the latter case it will not be possible to recover the file using this trick.
Search in the WhatsApp folder
Try entering the file explorer and enter the WhatsApp file, then look for the “WhatsApp Images” folder and check if the photos in question are there. All photos sent and received through the application are stored in this section.
Ask a friend
Another alternative is to ask the person you were talking to to please forward the pictures. It should be noted that this can only work if the person agrees to send them again or has not deleted them from their mobile, otherwise it will not be possible to do so.
Through WhatsApp Web
It is also possible to recover photos via WhatsApp Web. To do this you must enter the following link and access the WhatsApp online platform, then scan the QR code through the app by accessing “Settings > Linked Devices > Link a device“.
Now proceed to enter the chat where the deleted photo was received and download it. The secret of this trick is that even if the image is not on the mobile, it can be found in the web version of WhatsApp.
Restore the backup
Messages and media files exchanged in chats are stored in backup copies. These are stored in Google Drive (Android) and iCloud (iOS) and can be restored at any time, but it is recommended to verify if the copy was made after receiving the photo and before it was deleted.
To check the date of the last backup go to “Settings > Chats > Backup“. In case you believe that the image is in the backup, you can proceed to restore the backup and after that you will be able to recover the photo in question.
Through external applications
Another alternative is to resort to third-party applications, although some of these have the limitation that they require root to be able to search for images. Similarly, if you want to try this procedure, one of the most popular tools for this job is DiskDigger.
This app allows you to restore thumbnails of images, i.e. files smaller than the original file size. To do so, it is only necessary to grant the access permission to analyze the memory, then a preview of the recovered images will be displayed and you will be able to choose the one you want to save.
This way you can recover deleted photos from WhatsApp, in a short time and without complications.
