WhatsApp Tips And Tricks: How To Recover All Old/deleted WhatsApp Chats
How To Recover All Old/deleted WhatsApp Chats
Earlier this week we had provided a simple trick to read deleted WhatsApp messages. WhastApp has no official feature that lets you read messages that have been deleted but via third party app called WhatsRemoved+ it is possible for you to read all deleted WhatsApp messages. Oftentimes, mainly while switching to a new smartphone, we lose old WhatsApp texts, media files and that can be very disappointing for some. Today we will discuss a simple way so no one ever loses their WhatsApp chats no matter how old they are. We all know that WhatsApp backs up chats every day. For the unaware, WhatsApp creates a backup of all chats at 2AM in the morning by default unless you have changed the setting manually. ALSO READ: Here’s how you can read deleted WhatsApp messages Note: If the daily backup is getting too much you can always change the auto chat backup setting and select the option that best suits your requirement. The options available are: Daily, Monthly, Weekly, and OFF. If you choose OFF option, you will never be able to get access to old chats if switched to a new phone. * You will first need to ensure that the chat backup option of your WhatsApp account is set to Daily. This option makes the process smoother as it keeps a backup of your chats on a regular basis and make it easy to recover it whenever required. * We mostly need to recover deleted WhatsApp messages while switching to a new smartphone or deleting the WhatsApp account. * If switching to a new smartphone you will first need to download the WhatsApp app from Google Play store or Apple App store. * Login to your WhatsApp account by entering the phone number, OTP.

If you are not moving to a new phone but have mistakenly deleted some WhatsApp chats and want to restore it back you can simply uninstall the WhatsApp app and reinstall it and follow the aforementioned process. While restoring you must ensure to connect the phone to a stable WiFi network so the restore process doesn't consume all your mobile data. Work from Home appears to be the norm for many of us.

WhatsApp Makes It Harder For You To Forward Some Messages As It Tries To Slow Coronavirus Misinformation
Vastly popular messaging app WhatsApp is making it harder to share certain commonly forwarded messages as it tries to crack down on coronavirus rumours and misinformation. As the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic continues, there has been a rapid increase in the volume of false information and scams related to news about the diseases being shared, either maliciously or accidentally, through all types of social media, leaving big-tech companies scrambling to crack down. Facebook-owned WhatsApp said it has seen a significant increase in the amount of message forwarding, which it said is leaving some users overwhelmed and is contributing to the spread of misinformation. The app already labels frequently-forwarded messages -- which have been forwarded more than five times -- with double arrows to indicate they did not originate from a close contact. Now the company has said it will only allow these types of messages to be sent by users to one chat at a time, in a bid to slow down their spread. SEE: Working from home: Success tips for telecommuters (free PDF) This is the latest step WhatsApp has taken to address the speed at which messages can spread: in January last year it limited the forwarding of messages to five chats at once, in order to constrain virality. WhatsApp said this resulted in a 25% decrease in total message forwards globally. The company said it bans two million accounts per month for attempting to send bulk or automated messages. WhatsApp is also trying to give users more information about some of these mass-forwarded messages. The latest beta release displays a magnifying glass icon next to these frequently forwarded messages, giving users the option to send that message to a web search where they can find news results or other sources of information. "Double checking these messages before forwarding may help reduce the spread of rumours," the company said.
