Need Urgent Help: For a specific user, i need deleted Whatsapp messages from Jan 2016 through December 2017. I have deleted those messages. I have chat messages from December 2017. I checked online and it says that i should delete whatsapp and reinstall it, and older messages will be restored. However, i am afraid to do so, because i don't want to lose all my messages. How can i specifically get those messages with that specific user for those 2 years? My last backup to iCloud happened a couple of days ago. Thank you!

Hello  Pankaj I'm happy to assist you here. 

Just to confirm you are trying to restore an old  deleted message from a specific user correct? 

Posted
Customer

Yes - one specific user for specific dates from Jan 2016 through Dec 2017.

OK. When did you delete  the messages?

Alright and I would assume that your Iphone made an icloud  backup after those dates correct? 

Posted
Customer

yes, i would assume so.  It usually gets automatically backed up periodically.  The last backup i did was a couple of days ago.

Posted
Customer

The last backup was this Monday at 10:05pm Central Time.

if the last backup was just a few days ago it will only restore all the available messages that were backed up. Whenever there's an backup happened  in the icloud it will always override the old backup from your chat messages. Reinstalling the app will not help you recover  the deleted messages since it will  only restore the settings or messages  that are available from the backup

Customer

ok, when i told you the last back up date, that was last back Chat Backup on Whatsapp.

Posted
Customer

Is that the same date as the iCould backup?

Posted
Customer

Interestingly, when i go to setting for the iCloud Backup, it says The last backup could not be completed.  The last successful backup was on 1/18/18 at 2:40pm

Yes it is the same. WhatsApp doesn't store any user messages on its server and it use either Google drive or iCloud

Posted
Customer

So, then why the difference in dates?

 1/18/18  backup is all the things settings, etc  in your Iphone.
