In such cases, there’s no need to worry—recovering deleted Zalo messages is quick and straightforward with the right steps.
Many Zalo users often clean up their chat history by deleting conversations. However, accidentally deleting chats means you won’t be able to view those messages later. For important conversations involving transactions, work, or other critical matters, losing messages can significantly impact both parties. Below are some reasons why people might struggle to find messages in their Zalo chats.
- Accidentally deleting a conversation
- Losing backup or original recovery files on Zalo
- Recalling messages within a chat
- Deleting data on your phone or computer, causing Zalo to lose original data
- And various other reasons…
No matter which situation you find yourself in, you can still recover long-deleted Zalo messages easily and quickly.
2. How to Recover Long-Deleted Zalo Messages on Your Phone
On the Zalo mobile app, you can perform backup and recovery to retrieve previously deleted messages. If you wish to restore your Zalo messages, simply initiate the recovery process to allow the system to retrieve all your Zalo data from the past. Here’s how to perform a recovery on Zalo:
Step 1: Open the Zalo app on your phone, navigate to the Personal (1) section, and select Settings (2) to view app configurations. Within settings, choose Backup & Restore (3) to begin the message recovery process on your phone.
Step 2: In the Backup & Restore section, tap the Three Dots (…) next to the most recent backup and select Restore.
Note: When restoring Zalo messages on your phone, all backed-up conversation content will reappear, including messages, images, videos, sent files, and more.
The process of recovering messages on Zalo typically takes between 10 to 15 minutes, and you’ll receive a notification once it’s complete. After the recovery process finishes, reopen the conversation where you need to retrieve messages to view the restored content on your phone.
Deleted Zalo messages can be fully recovered; however, messages that have been “recalled” cannot be restored. Therefore, if you intend to remove messages in the future, opt for deletion instead of recalling, as deleted messages can still be retrieved.
3. How to Recover Long-Deleted Zalo Messages on a Computer
For the Zalo desktop application, direct message recovery isn’t possible. To restore deleted Zalo messages on a computer, follow these sequential steps:
Step 1: Perform Zalo message recovery on your phone as outlined in Part 2 of this article.
Since computers cannot restore Zalo messages, you need to initiate the recovery process on your phone to sync data from your phone to your computer.
Step 2: After successfully recovering messages on your phone, open the Zalo app on your computer. Navigate to Settings ➔ Data ➔ Sync Messages to synchronize messages from your phone to your computer.
Step 3: On your phone, confirm the Sync action to transfer all recovered messages from your phone to your computer.
Step 4: The message synchronization process takes approximately 5 minutes, and you must ensure your phone screen remains active during this time.
Once the data synchronization is complete, open the conversations where you need to retrieve deleted messages to verify the restoration.
