If you have mistakenly deleted important WhatsApp messages or lost your device, don’t panic! It is possible to restore your WhatsApp messages from a backup, even if you don’t have a Google Drive or iCloud backup in place, thanks to the Msgstore file.
Msgstore is a database file that stores all of your WhatsApp messages and media locally on your device. It is automatically created every day at 2 AM, and contains a history of all of your WhatsApp conversations. This means that even if you have deleted a message or conversation from WhatsApp, it may still be possible to recover it from the Msgstore file.
Restoring your WhatsApp messages from the Msgstore file is a relatively simple process and takes only a few minutes. You can use a third-party app, such as “WhatsApp Recovery” or “Msgstore Viewer”, to open the Msgstore file and extract your WhatsApp messages and media. Once you have recovered your WhatsApp messages, you can then import them into your WhatsApp account.
