I deleted my WhatsApp account and I would like to restore the conversation I had. I didn't uninstall the app, or doing any reset.
When I checked the /databases folder, it's empty. Is it possible to find the last backup file somewhere?
If it's related, I've got LG G3.
Go to SDcard or Internal SD (whichever available default). Find WhatsApp folder. The daily scheduled backups that occur at 4.00am is present in the databases folder.
To restore, fresh install WhatsApp. There will be a dialogue "Do you want to restore your chat history?". Click Restore.
Unless you have some file recovery software to recover the deleted .crypt8 database files on your sdcard, you are out of luck.
Deleting your WhatsApp account will erase your message history from sdcard.
Deleting your account will do the following
- Delete your account from WhatsApp.
- Delete you from your friends' WhatsApp Contacts lists.
- Delete you from all WhatsApp groups.
- Erase your message history on your phone.
- Delete your WhatsApp service payment information.
