At times, we mistakenly tap incorrect buttons on our smart
devices and unfortunately, this means some vital information is nowhere to be
found.
While chatting hurriedly on your Android device, you may
decide to start an email conversation. But very unfortunately, you could hit
“Delete Chat’’ instead of the “Email conversation’’ option right below it.
What does this mean? Your WhatsApp chat history is gone!
However, your WhatsApp chat is not gone forever because the
WhatsApp management has equipped the mobile app with some safety features which
allow Android users to recover any WhatsApp messages they mistakenly delete.
But notably, this advantage is possible only when the lost messages are within
a 7-day period. In a nutshell, you can’t recover any chat history after 7 days
from the moment you lost it.

In as much as the lost messages are within a one-week
period, WhatsApp allows you to recover anything through its back-up feature. By
this feature, WhatsApp ensures that all your data entries, such as messages,
are automatically backed up on a daily basis. Then, WhatsApp keeps the backed up
messages/data temporarily on the micro SD card of your Android device.
