This tutorial contains a step by step instruction set on How to Read WhatsApp Messages Deleted by Sender. Please follow all the instructions very carefully mentioned in this guide.
Nothing makes a user more curios than receiving a WhatsApp message which says Ø This message was deleted. More often than not, it turns out to be a case of the user changing its mind at the last instance, rather than sending the message to the wrong person.
If this has ever happened with you (which, to be frank, would definitely have happened at least once), then tons of questions might begin to pop out of your mind. What was he/she trying to convey? Why did he or she delete this message, etc?
And if you think that the deleted message could be accessed from the WhatsApp server, then you are completely mistaken. This is because, first of all, you cannot access their servers by any means whatsoever. And second and more importantly, WhatsApp never stores any of your messages, images, videos, etc at their servers. It simply has your Name and Phone Number stored in their database for identification purposes.
But still, there is a workaround through which you could read the WhatsApp messages deleted by the sender. Read the next section to know more about this.

- [IMPORTANT] You may notice two-three notifications from the same sender, even if the sender has sent you a single message and deleted it. You need to open all such notifications and find the line android.text. It will be present in any one of the notifications.
- The text next to android.text will be your deleted message. Pretty cool, isn’t it?
IMPORTANT NOTES
- When you receive a new message from someone, then under Notifications Log, you will see that person’s name, the ‘Whatsapp’ text along with its logo and then all the other details.
- As mentioned before, the details would also include the message, present next to android.text. But when the user deletes that message, then you will receive a new notification.
- This notification will occupy the top stop thereby pushing the original one, that has the deleted message, below it.
- In the new notification, next to android.text, you will find the text: This message was deleted. Don’t get confused, the message with the original SMS, that has now been deleted, will be present there as well, just lying two-three sets below. You may require a little digging up. But ultimately you will find it out.
