How to restore deleted photos from WhatsApp Backup | Tips and Tricks
The majority of smartphone users use WhatsApp regularly for chatting, file sharing, and many more purposes. Deleted images on WhatsApp can be recovered in a variety of methods, but today we’ll learn how to restore deleted photos from a WhatsApp backup.
What if no one has a copy of your deleted image? In such case, using a backup is the best option to restore WhatsApp photographs. Backups are supported by WhatsApp on both Android and iOS, and they are stored to Google Drive and iCloud, respectively. If only a short period of time has passed, you can restore data from a backup.

Here, you’ll find details such as the most recent backup date and the frequency of your data backup schedule. If you have deleted pictures since the last backup, you can quickly recover your images and chats by uninstalling and reinstalling WhatsApp in order to restore the backup. Simply remove the application from your smartphone, then download WhatsApp again from the Store (App store or Play Store).
You must next authenticate your phone number before being given the option to restore your data from a backup, if one exists. By choosing this, WhatsApp will bring back all of your messages to their previous state at the time of backup. But keep in mind that any WhatsApp conversations you have exchanged since your previous backup will be lost.
In other words, before you restore the old backup to get your images back, make sure you have saved those data somewhere or that you can also capture screenshots of your essential messages. If another backup was performed after the photos were erased, there is no way to restore them.
Today, WhatsApp introduced the Screen Sharing feature in its Android Beta activity. Some lucky users have received this new function after updating the Android app to version 2.23.11.19 through Google Play Store.
WhatsApp has reportedly added a new button within the video call control panel. Once enabled, you will be prompted to share your screen with the person connected on the call.
This feature will record and share everything displayed on your screen with the recipient. However, the feature may not work perfectly now as the recipient’s WhatsApp may not be on the latest build of Beta.
In addition, users may notice some minor changes regarding the new bottom navigation bar elements’ arrangement after updating to WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.23.11.19.
Following a successful Beta run, WhatsApp will roll out the new screen-sharing feature and the new placement for tabs within the bottom navigation bar to more users over the coming weeks.
