Last night I was deleting some apps from my phone that I no longer use and accidentally deleted WhatsApp. I reinstalled it straight away but it’s brought everything back up until exactly a week ago. The most annoying thing is that the last weeks worth of messages contains LOADS of info I need…. Back to school stuff, football registration forms, loads of work bits… is the any way anyone knows of getting it back? Thanks!

Sounds like it only backed up to the date of what you can see. If that’s the case as far as I know the data is lost. Can you look in settings when the last back up was?

Sounds like you have your whatsapp set to back up weekly so it has installed it to the last back up. Not sure there is anyway to get the missing information back.

It's restored what you backed up. What isn't backed up is lost (as I know to my cost!)

Oh no! My own bloody fault. Half the time it brings up an alert to back up and I cancel it off 🙈😂 so bloody typical that of ALL the weeks to lose it’s this last week with a BOAT load of bloody stuff I need for back to school/clubs etc. Nightmare!

If it's from group chats can you ask someone in them to screenshot the info? Or whoever it was from really! It'll still be on their side of the chat
