For many people, WhatsApp is the most important communication tool around. It can be used to chat with friends and family and to send important photos or videos.
But accidents happen. If you’ve deleted some important WhatsApp messages from your iPhone, you might be wondering if there’s a way to restore them. To find out if that’s possible, keep reading.
iPhone users are in luck because iCloud allows them to backup WhatsApp messages. Backing up messages to iCloud is especially useful if users don’t have an iTunes backup.

One important thing to know: Your videos aren’t going to be backed up in iCloud because they’d use up all the space. You can enable this function, but if you have only 5GB available, better skip this step.
Once you backup your messages, you don’t have to worry about not being able to retrieve your WhatsApp messages. Here’s what you need to do:
Note that it’ll take some time to restore the messages. Click on “Next” and you’ll be asked to write your display name. Once you finish this step and go into chats, you should be able to see the restored messages.
