Restore Whatsapp Messages

We all use Whatsapp and no doubt we love it!! But some times we accidentally delete our important messages in Whatsapp! And you don't know what to do next.
There are two methods to restore those messages.

Method 1:

  1. First of all, go to sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases in your sdcard. 
  2. Here you will two files for example: msgstore-2014-01-07.db.crypt and msgstore.db.crypt. Rename the second file i.e. msgstore.db.crypt by adding some word.
  3. After that select the file msgstore-2014-01-07.db.crypt and rename it to  msgstore.db.crypt
  4. Finally, go to Settings/Applications/Manage applications/WhatsApp and click on Clear Data.
  5. Now open WhatsApp and it asks to restore messages. Click on restore.



Method 2:

There is also another method using web application called Recover Messages. Visit that site and click on Select SQlite File to upload your msgstore-2014-01-07.db.crypt file and select Scan. (Don't forget to check the box I accept the terms of use) It takes few seconds and you can read all your messages.



The drawback in this second method is that messages are not restored in your chat history instead you can only extract and read them!
