How to recover deleted conversations in WhatsApp
If you have been using WhatsApp for a few years, you have probably done some cleanup in conversations made by the messaging app. We bet you have also inadvertently deleted some important conversation or need to retrieve a message exchange you had a long time ago but deleted.
Fortunately, WhatsApp itself offers a solution if you have enabled Google Drive backup. This kind of process is interesting for those who have had WhatsApp hacked and need to recover what they lost.
