WeChat, as a social software used with the highest frequency, generates seas of data every day. It’s undoubtedly that we will do regular cleanup to delete some trivial data. But unfortunately, it’s hard to avoid deleting some important files mistakenly.

Many users wonder how to recover WeChat files, sometimes, more specifically, how to restore WeChat history on iPhone, or how to retrieve WeChat recall messages.

Then how to recover those data once they are deleted? In this tutorial, you will get a guide on how to perform WeChat file recovery quickly.

There are generally two circumstances in which WeChat files are deleted. The first is caused by the WeChat system failure, leading to some data loss. The second is that the user manually deleted the data.

How to perform WeChat file recovery when encountering a system failure?

Corresponding solutions to those two situations stated above will be presented below. Let’s get started with the first one, how to conduct WeChat data recovery on iPhone when encountering a system failure.

Step 3. Finally, reboot your phone. Then your files are back.

Method 2. Perform WeChat data recovery via WeChat Repair Tool

Tips:

  • The colon “:” needs to be typed in English inputting mode.
  • :recover”, as an embedded recovery tool in WeChat, works only when you encounter a problem with a WeChat feature, such as a scrambled chat history or missing contacts.
  • WeChat data recovery cannot be completed if you delete your friends, delete your chat history, and change your device on your own initiative.​​

Step 1. Start WeChat on your phone, and search “:recover” in the search bar. Tap “WeChat Repair Tool”.

Step 2. Then you will get the same interface as the 4th step in the previous method. The following steps are consistent with Method 1.

How to restore WeChat files that are manually deleted?

If you deleted your WeChat files manually, you may have to ask for help from your previous backup or turn to professional software.

Method 1. Perform WeChat data recovery from a backup on a PC

Tips:

  • Your mobile phone and computer need to be connected to the same network.

Step 1. Start and log in to WeChat on your PC, and click “more” in the lower-left corner of the interface. Then go to “Backup and Restore”.
