Hi guys,

i recently deleted some old work whatsapps ext, my phone then auto backed up ( as it does every night to icloud) but now i need to retrieve those old work messages. does anyone know if the data is saved anywhere? as if i restore from back it will only do it from last nights back up which i had deleted the messages last week so they are no longer that! wahh what a catch 22

Hope that makes sense and any or all help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Have you connected it to iTunes in the past month? If you're lucky there could be a backup made in the background. Get iMazing trial and check if you can see any, and if yes, search for the missing WhatsApp chat.

p.s. I would strongly recommend getting iMazing license and make weekly backups for exactly this reason. It has incremental backups so they won't use much space, and having a backup history for the last 2 months can be a lifesaver.
