How can you recover deleted WhatsApp photos?

If you have accidentally deleted a photo on WhatsApp, you may still be able to recover it using one of the following methods:

Method 1: Checking the WhatsApp "Deleted Messages" folder

WhatsApp has a built-in feature that allows you to recover deleted messages and media files within a limited time frame. Here's how to use it:

1. Open WhatsApp on your device.
2. Tap on the "Chats" tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Tap on the chat where the photo was deleted.
4. Tap and hold on a message in the chat.
5. Tap on the "Delete" icon at the top of the screen.
6. Tap on "Delete for me" or "Delete for everyone" depending on whether you want to delete the message for yourself or for everyone in the chat.
7. Tap on "Undo" immediately after deleting the message.
8. Check the chat to see if the deleted photo has been recovered.

Note that the "Undo" feature is only available for a few seconds after deleting a message or media file. If you don't see the "Undo" option, it means that the deleted photo cannot be recovered using this method.

Method 2: Checking your device's "Recently Deleted" folder

If you have deleted a photo from your device's photo gallery, you may still be able to recover it from the "Recently Deleted" folder. Here's how to do it:

1. Open the "Photos" app on your device.
2. Tap on the "Albums" tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Scroll down and tap on the "Recently Deleted" album.
4. Check if the deleted photo is in the "Recently Deleted" album.
5. Tap on the "Select" button at the top right corner of the screen.
6. Select the deleted photo and tap on the "Recover" button at the bottom right corner of the screen.

Note that photos in the "Recently Deleted" folder are automatically deleted after 30 days. If the deleted photo is not in the "Recently Deleted" folder, it cannot be recovered using this method.

Method 3: Using a data recovery app

If the above methods don't work, you can try using a data recovery app to recover the deleted photo. Here's how to do it:

1. Download and install a data recovery app on your device, such as Disk Drill or EaseUS MobiSaver.
2. Follow the instructions to scan your device for deleted files.
3. Check if the deleted photo is in the list of recoverable files.
4. Select the deleted photo and tap on the "Recover" button to save it to your device.

Note that using a data recovery app may require a lot of resources and may not always be successful. It's recommended to try the above methods first before using a data recovery app.
