How to find sent or received Images and videos via WhatsApp after you delete them from Phone

If the backup is already turned on, you can retrieve the images and even videos you sent or received on WhatsApp. Follow these steps;

  • Launch WhatsApp
  • Tap on the contact who sent you image or video (or you received from)
  • Now you can write and send a message to the person or check chat history, but don’t do anything. Just tap on the contact name/number at the top
  • Click Media, Links, and Docs
  • Now you can see all the sent or received images and videos that were used during conversation. However, Videos can only be retrieved if you turned on Video backup while setting up auto backup for WhatsApp.
