Scenario

“Hello everyone! Several hours ago, I accidentally deleted all of my WhatsApp videos for freeing up internal storage space. However, some of those deleted videos are very precious and should not be deleted. What’s worse, those videos were not backed up. So does anyone know if is it possible to restore deleted videos without backup? Please help!”

Can you retrieve deleted WhatsApp videos?

The WhatsApp application has been a quite popular instant messaging app for most mobile users. It makes communication become much easier for everyone no matter whether they are living in the same place or not.

With WhatsApp, we can share funny pictures with friends or send instant messages, voice messages, video calling, etc.

However, the smartphone is prone to corruption or damage, and accidents can happen anytime. So, you might lose some important files, like videos, pictures, and bill payment documents, from the WhatsApp application.

In such cases, you may wonder if you can retrieve deleted WhatsApp videos that were not backed up before the accidents. In fact, it is not easy, but there are still ways that help you achieve that.

Methods you can try to restore deleted videos without backup

Now, we would like to share 3 methods to help recover deleted videos without backup from the WhatsApp application. Check them out and choose the proper one for your requirements.

Method 1. Recover deleted videos from WhatsApp Auto backup

WhatsApp automatically creates a backup of files every day, keeping the backup intact for the past seven days. So, if you just deleted WhatsApp videos within 7 days, this method is worth a try. Below is how to do it:

Step 1. On your mobile phone, go to ”Settings”>” Apps”. Locate the WhatsApp application and tap on it. Choose the “Uninstall” button to uninstall WhatsApp.

Step 2. Then go to App Store or Gallery and re-install WhatsApp from there.

Step 3. Log into your account, and it will prompt you with the restore option; just click ”Restore”.

Step 4. Once the restore process is finished, all the videos, photos, and other chat conversations of the last 7 days come back.

This process is easy to follow, but it only recovers WhatsApp videos of only past seven days. Besides, you may lose your old WhatsApp files because they are overwritten.

Method 2. Recover WhatsApp videos from internal storage

Since WhatsApp saves the media files in the internal storage location, you can try to recover deleted videos from its storage. The steps are listed below:

Step 1. Open File Explorer on the mobile device and find out the WhatsApp folder.

Step 2. Connect your device to a computer via the charging cable and open the media folder using Windows File Explorer.

Step 3. Then you will see all data like photos, videos, audio voice notes, calls, etc that you have sent or received on WhatsApp.

Step 4. Now, you can open folders that contain the videos you want to recover to get them back.

Employing this method to retrieve the deleted WhatsApp videos without backup, you have to note. If you deleted WhatsApp files after deleting the WhatsApp application from your phone, you will not be able to recover them.

Method 3. Restore deleted WhatsApp videos via professional software

If the above 2 recovery solutions do not work in your situation, it is time to turn to a professional WhatsApp recovery tool, such as IMyFone WhatsApp Recovery. It can easily restore all types of WhatsApp data from any iOS device without backup. Simply download the tool and get back deleted WhatsApp videos.
