Many times it happens that an important chat of WhatsApp gets deleted by mistake. Later it is remembered that there were important things or photos in it. If this happens to you too, then do not worry. You get a feature in WhatsApp with which you can get the old chat back again. For this, you just have to follow some steps.

How to recover WhatsApp chat

You must already turn on the backup of WhatsApp, which means your chats are being saved simultaneously in Google Drive or iCloud.

To recover the chat, the same mobile number and Google / iCloud account should be there from which the backup was taken.

Method of recovering chat for Android users

For this, first uninstall WhatsApp. After this, go to the Google Play Store and install WhatsApp again. Login with your mobile number. Enter the same mobile number with which you were running WhatsApp earlier. Now the app will ask you if you want to restore the backup from Google Drive. As soon as you click on Restore, your old chats will be back.

This is the process for iPhone users.

To recover WhatsApp chats on iPhone, delete the app from the phone. After this, reinstall WhatsApp from the Apple App Store like Android. Enter your old registered number which was previously on WhatsApp. When the option to get a backup from iCloud comes, click on the option of Restore Chat History.

What to do if you have not taken backup beforehand?
If you have not taken the backup, it may be difficult to bring back the deleted chat. In such a situation, always keep Chat Backup on by going to WhatsApp settings. Select the time of Auto Backup as Daily or Weekly.
