How to Restore Deleted WhatsApp Messages without Backup for Free
For Android devices, WhatsApp makes a local backup every day at 2:00 AM. The files are saved in the WhatsApp > Database folder inside the Android local/SD Card storage. So, you can use that file to restore deleted messages. However, the phone only stores the last 7 days of local backup files. Moreover, you have to uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp to restore the backup, and there is no option to recover selective messages from the backup.
If you are willing to proceed with this method, then follow the below steps to restore deleted WhatsApp messages for free from an Android device:
Step 1 – Open the File Explorer app and go to WhatsApp > Database.
Step 2 – Rename the backup file you intend to restore from “msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt15” to “msgstore.db.crypt15”.
Note: The crypt extension might vary, so keep the crypt extension number as it is.
Step 3 – Uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp. Sign in using the same phone number. Once it asks to restore backup, click “Restore”.
WhatsApp will restore all the backed-up chats. This way, you can restore WhatsApp messages for free and look for the deleted messages once all chats are restored completely.
