Before we get started:

- Check your WhatsApp messages backup folders. You may know that WhatsApp backs up its messages every day at 4 am(system time).

 - Stop using your android device. If you didn’t get any stuff you want from the backup files, the first thing you need to do is turn off your 3G/Wi-Fi connection and leave your device alone until you could find a way out. Any new data could make the WhatsApp messages unrecoverable, as the deleted/lost WhatsApp chat will probably be overwritten by new content.
