Have you ever been in a group chat, or you're chatting with somebody you hold dear to your heart, and they send an intriguing message that you barely caught a glimpse before it was deleted?

Sometimes, if feels like they cast some spell on you, leaving you to wonder what the content of the message that was deleted. For an overthinker like myself, I hate that suspense.

Here's a brief guide on how to see or view deleted WhatsApp messages for both Android and iPhone users.

Let me note that there are few methods to achieving it, and I'm going to state all the methods I know.

For Android Users: (Android 11)
1. Go to your phone settings and search for notifications.
2. Click on advanced settings and turn it on.

OR
You can go to your settings and search for notification history and turn it on.

For iPhone Users
There’s a weird way of seeing it.
Click on the deleted message, and it will bring out different options, click on reply, you definitely will see the message at the top of your response.

OR
You could use WhatsApp backup. If you set up a regular backup routine, all you need to do is uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp to restore the chat history, including WhatsApp deleted messages. This will work effectively if the backup was made before the messages were deleted.

For Both Android and iPhone Users
1. Go to the Play store and download the GC Recover Deleted Messages.

2. Open it and select WhatsApp and click next.
3. It will create a folder within the app.
4. When you see deleted messages, go to the app and click on WhatsApp, and it will show you all the deleted messages.

Other 3rd Party Apps you can use to Recover Deleted Messages
1. WAMR
2. Recover Deleted Messages
3. All Deleted Messages Recovery.

P. S: Be careful with third-party apps. They can actually collect your personal information or data, and they would not work or function as they ought to.
