The app has rolled out a plethora of features that make adds convenience and makes it easier to do more than just sending simple texts. Whether be it WhatsApp Status feature, video calling, voice calling, sending multiple photos and videos to your friends and more, the app is feature-loaded.

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world right now. The Facebook-owned company in 2017 released a feature that allows people to delete their own messages from WhatsApp. Using this feature removes photos, videos, or messages completely from WhatsApp, which means that no one, including you, can see these messages after they are deleted. However, there is a way to see deleted messages on WhatsApp and we’ll get to that shortly.

In case you are planning on using this guide to reveal deleted messages, please remember that there’s always a price to pay to access WhatsApp features that are not officially supported. In this case, the method we’re suggesting will expose all of your notifications including OTPs and bank balance details, to a third-party app, and we can’t guarantee that this data will remain private. Please use this method at your own risk, and only if seeing WhatsApp messages others have deleted is absolutely essential to you.

However, there is one feature that grabbed a lot of attention known as the delete message feature. With this, one can remove messages which are sent to the recipient, and no one can see it once it is deleted. There is no official way through which you can see the deleted message. But, what if we tell you that you can see deleted messages on WhatsApp? In this article, we are going to show a workaround through which you can easily read deleted messages on WhatsApp. Here’s how:

How to see deleted WhatsApp messages without any app

If you have got an Android 11 device, you can read deleted WhatsApp messages without installing any app. The OS comes with a built-in notification history option that can keep a log of all WhatsApp messages, even though they have been deleted by the recipient. It’s also completely free to use. Here’s how to enable notification history on Android 11 mobile phone to see deleted WhatsApp messages:

• Open the Settings app and tap “Apps & Notifications.”
• Tap “Notifications.”
• Tap “Notification history” and toggle the button next to ‘Use notification history’
• After this, all your future notifications, including WhatsApp messages, will appear on the page

You will have to follow the same steps to read deleted WhatsApp messages every time. The messages will be stacked against all other notifications (anything from the last 24 hours). You can interact with the notification by tapping it, just as if it were in the phone’s pull-down notification shade. Much like Notisave, the Android 11 notification history option doesn’t recover media files.
