It\u2019s one of the most frequently asked questions when you\u2019re having issues: \u201c<\/span>How can I recover a deleted WhatsApp photo or video?<\/b>\u201d For some reason, you deleted that snapshot and now want to get it back on your device. Yes, friends, you can recover it. In fact, today at Softonic we\u2019re going to teach you how. <\/span><\/p>\n

Before we get started, check carefully<\/b><\/h2>\n

We\u2019re going to recommend a series of recovery programs, but before we get started, we want to ask you something: <\/span>are you sure you\u2019ve checked carefully? <\/b><\/p>\n

We\u2019re asking this question for a simple reason: <\/span>WhatsApp saves all your images and videos in two different folders. <\/b>One is the device’s \u201cImage gallery\u201d and the other is a dedicated folder for the app called \u201cWhatsApp Images\u201d (within the \u201cGallery,\u201d of course). <\/span><\/p>\n

In the case of iOS, the images are also found within every user. If you click on the profile name once the chat is open, you\u2019ll see a field called <\/span>\u201cMultimedia, links and docs.\u201d<\/b> Go in and you\u2019ll have access to all the images that you\u2019ve downloaded since you installed the app (if you didn\u2019t delete them previously, of course).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With apps<\/b><\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve checked that the images aren\u2019t there, it\u2019s time to use apps to recover the snapshots. For this, we have two tools that work fairly well: <\/span>DigDeep<\/b> and <\/span>Disk Digger<\/b>, the first free and the second paid. <\/span><\/p>\n

Starting with <\/span>DigDeep<\/b><\/a>, this app is extremely easy to use, so much so that its design is the most complex part. With a rough and ugly appearance, this software lets you recover all deleted images with two simple clicks. Literally. Once you have it downloaded and installed, you\u2019ll see that several pictures of deleted images will pop up. Click on the one you would like to recover and click on <\/span>\u201cRestore.\u201d<\/b> It doesn\u2019t get any easier.<\/span><\/p>\n

For <\/span>Disk Digger<\/b><\/a>, the ins and outs are the same, except the free version of the app only recovers a thumbnail of the photo. Of course, the developers\u2019 idea is that you\u2019ll see the images or videos that you want to recover. And you won\u2019t think twice about upgrading to the paid version. <\/span><\/p>\n

About WhatsApp Web<\/b><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ll wrap up with a little trick that you may not know: <\/span>WhatsApp Web<\/b>, i.e. the computer platform for this app, may have your photos. For this, you only have to <\/span>enter the site, <\/b>scan the QR code that it requests (following the instructions that WhatsApp indicates) and you\u2019ll see the app opens on your computer. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you click on the chat of any user, you\u2019ll see that same box as the iOS version (“Multimedia, links and docs”). Go in and you\u2019ll have <\/span>all the photos and videos<\/b> that you\u2019ve exchanged with that person at your fingertips!<\/span><\/p>\n
