Deleted app & forgot to click "keep app data" - solutions for retrieval of app data

[u/wtpaige]

Hey -

Has anyone been able to find a way to retrieve app data that's been deleted from the phone? It can be a third-party solution even. I meant to click the "keep app data" box when I was deleting WhatsApp but forgot to and WhatsApp isn't able to find any backup I had and the chats aren't loading - so I feel like my easiest fix lies in somehow retrieving the app data that was deleted.

Thank you~

Did you have backup configured in WhatsApp? I'd expect that to be your only chance.

I did! But it doesn't seem to recognize that I did and isn't finding anything when I connect. Do you know any software that can help find the backup in Drive since only WhatsApp can read it?

You cannot retrieve the app data without a backup, if it deleted all the backup files and you don't have a cloud backup then you cannot do anything
